Diptique Rose perfume - does the smell last for you?

I love the Diptique Rose perfume but find it impossible to smell after minutes. The internet said it was just my perception as it was on me (never had that issue before with other perfumes) but now I’ve had the family smelling me and they can’t smell it either!

Is it just something chemical that means it doesn’t work on me but is fine for everyone else? Or is this a general thing for Diptique?

Same here lots of fragrances don’t stick to my skin Diptique is one of them. Penhaligons generally does and have some lovely rose scents.

Eau Rose doesn't last long on my skin, I put a dab of balm before I spray it and also will do a spray on my shirt.

Try Radical Rose from Matiere Premiere. Expensive but I can smell it for days.

I’ve always been disappointed by Diptique frags and candles.

Very useful, thank you. I’ll wander down to their shop when next in London and check it out.

Thanks for the recommendation- haven’t heard of it but will look up where I can smell it.

It’s definitely at Liberty and Harrods.

Not sure where else.

I’ve had my bottle a few years now. It really lasts!

I’m going to Liberty this week @GracefulPelican so that’s a great shout!

The matiere premiere counter was in the perfume lounge in the basement last time I was there.

Happy sniffing!

I wear Diptique Eau Capitale (inspired by Paris) its a deep rose scent & i adore it & can def smell it - it regularly gets complimented

The Louis Vuitton rose perfume has great staying power (and I have the same with diptique, none of them last)
