Cedarwood · Tonka Bean
Orpheus opens with a vibrant, energetic top that sparkles with green mandarin and yuzu, brightened by pink pepper and juniper's herbaceous snap. Ginger adds warmth and subtle spice, while juniper berries create a crisp, almost mineral quality that feels both fresh and deliberate. This initial burst is clean and refined—the kind of opening that feels effortless yet intentional.
The composition evolves into a lush, sophisticated heart where jasmine blooms with quiet elegance. Rather than demanding attention, it softens the citrus brilliance above, creating a bridge between the aromatic top and the grounding base that follows. Here, the fragrance reveals its true character: balanced, understated, and deeply wearable.
The base settles into warm cedarwood and musk, grounded by tonka bean's subtle sweetness and powdery notes that amplify the soft personal halo effect. Cedar provides structure and woody depth without heaviness, while the musk and tonka create a skin-like finish that whispers rather than projects. Longevity spans 6–8 hours with noticeable sillage, making it ideal for warm weather and transitional seasons.
Orpheus delivers 6–8 hours of elegant wear on skin with noticeable projection. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion and longevity. Layer with the Body Oil to extend wear throughout your day. Perfect for spring and fall occasions. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
Orpheus shares a similar profile with Diptyque's Orphéon, built in the same style of refined woody chypre sophistication. Where the original carries a luxury price tag, Orpheus delivers that same clean, understated character with HumanSafe™ verification and California craftsmanship—at a fraction of the cost. You're investing in the same olfactory philosophy without compromise on quality or ethics.
