I wasn’t always one to splurge on luxury fragrances, but lately, thanks to addicting samples over the years, I’ve upgraded to a signature scent that isn’t one for the masses.
I wanted to feel put-together in the morning, with a scent that lingered like a siren’s call. Married or not, I still want to be noticed, and this fragrance makes me feel like the best version of myself.
So I turned to the source of scent-driven self-discovery: Diptyque, the iconic Parisian perfume house founded by artists in 1960 and rooted in creativity, craftsmanship, and the natural world.
The best time to shop for expensive brands is during Nordstrom’s once-a-year Anniversary Sale. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t mean we should spend all our money; we can be savvy about it.
I found an exclusive Diptyque set that is worth your money if you care about public appearances. Shop the Orphéon Eau de Parfum & Cleansing Hand & Body Gel Set ($160 value) for just $115.
Orphéon is one of those fragrances that lingers all day, sultry, woody, and soft, but never overpowering.
This Nordstrom-exclusive Diptyque set captures the soul of Paris’s Saint-Germain quarter with Orphéon, a woody, aromatic blend inspired by jazz clubs, creative camaraderie, and nights filled with laughter. Featuring the Eau de Parfum and matching cleansing gel, it is filled with notes of warm cedar, tonka bean, and juniper berries.
It clings to the skin in all the right ways, lasting from morning coffee to evening plans. Paired with the matching cleansing hand and body gel, it becomes a daily ritual that feels more like art than routine.
Since adding Diptyque to my shelf, I’ve never gotten so many compliments or felt so confidently pulled together. And Diptyque is just the beginning of a self-discovery journey.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is packed with beauty exclusives, from jumbo sizes of cult skincare to Oprah’s favorite styles, Longchamp totes and more. But hurry because this sale ends August 3rd, and items will sell out before then.
