Best Kyoto by Diptyque Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

Organic disobedience from Crazy Nose Alessandro Gualtieri. Micodelerio is a fantasy of mushrooms in their natural environment: clustered among the wet soil and decaying leaves of the forest floor. Earthy/sweet beetroot plays against moss and a ticklish saltiness, before woody patchouli asserts itself. The strangeness resolves into a petrichor-drenched amber.

A dynamic and utterly unexpected swirl of dry, smoky incense and earthy-sweet beets. The loamy allure of beets is a surprisingly successful match with bright ginger and geranium, before taking a so-wrong-it’s-right plunge into leathery labdanum and ozonic incense. Strange and satisfying.

A bright, multi faceted, spring-like floral with a citrus edge featuring sweet Turkish roses.

Bon Parfumeur open olfactive dimensions and invite you to add your own story.

Try 101 for an effervescent bouquet of pink flowers.

Perfumer: Alexandra Monet 

The fusion of the Taj Mahal's cold marble and its surrounding garden. Marbre Rouge brings the flowers inside the palace walls.  Initially spicy, the fragrance warms up around cardamom before revealing its ylang-ylang heart. The amber notes of benzoin and Tolu balsam leave intensely sensual scents on the skin.

Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur

'A rose is a rose is not a rose'

All is not always as it first appears.

Character: Haunting, powerful, seductive.

Inspiration: A 16th Century epic allegorical poem; a sorceress; a mythic forest.

A socially acceptable way to smell like you spend your downtime writhing naked in milky melted chocolate, spiced with saffron, smoked by tobacco, caressed by vanilla. Cue eyes-rolling-back-in-their-head pleasure for anyone who smells you.

New formula, new perfumer.

The perfumer: Prin Lomros (also the creator behind PRIN, Prissana and Strangers.)

The story: Mystical, mysterious murmurings glide upon a blanket of inky sky. Shadows smear across the moonlight, their darting journey shrouded in darkness. Bats, the only mammal capable of true flight, are enigmatic and alien.

The formula: a vivid sparkly green maze paved with vetiver, decorated with tart jungle fruit and lots of earthy shadows. 

Prin is also the perfumer of the latest Zoologist's character: Sloth

Bohemian adds a new oud variety to Bloom’s portfolio of oud themes perfumes – Moluccas oud. It has been obtained for you by Swedoft in that same remote tiny archipelago that was the cause of spice wars over pepper and nutmeg in 17^th century. Moluccas have their own unique micro-climate and soil enriched with volcanic ash.

So please savoir the earthy leathery oud note that reflects the faraway island’s topical air. The perfumer highlights this material’s earthy vibes with white pepper, vetiver and patchouli.

Bohemian is a potent rich leather perfume, smelling of leather maps, precious spices and single shot pistols hidden in antique treasure chests.

A novel citrus dedicated to calamansi (aka Philippine lime). This peculiar fruit grows in the tropical forest of the Philippines. Calamansi is a bit like a lemon, but is green on the outside and yellow on the inside, with a rich, diverse fragrance palette, at once sparkling and luscious.

This sweet and zesty (at the same time) note plays the lead role in Citrus Noir and is paired with dry exotic incense.

An ancient ritual. The wonder of green, perfumed resin flowing from the tree. It is reminiscent of journeys along the perfume routes, of the magic of nocturnal ceremonies. Fresh, intense notes of Incense, Opoponax, Storax and Tolu.
