Diptyque
Opone
About
**Diptyque Opone** opens with dry pepper and cardamom, then softens into dark plum, incense and a muted rose on a resinous sandalwood base.
**Diptyque Opone** opens with dry, spicy air: pepper and cardamom prickle the nose like warm dust rising from sun-heated stone. After a few minutes the composition softens, and at its heart a dense plum appears, veiled with a fine thread of incense. The rose is not floral in the usual sense, but dark and subdued, almost wine-like in tone. Cinnamon adds a gentle warmth without tipping the fragrance into anything sugary or gourmand. In the base, opoponax and sandalwood create a resinous, velvety trail with an almost creamy texture, while patchouli, amber and musk keep it dry, composed and close to the skin. It suits calm evenings, an unhurried pace and those who prefer quiet depth over loud projection.
