The review

Orpheon scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Orphéon.

The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Orphéon's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $32 per 100ml it costs 85% less than Orphéon — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Diptyque Orphéon is juniper berries and pink pepper at first, jasmine and cedarwood at its heart and Tonka Bean, opoponax and musk at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • juniper berries
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • jasmine
  • cedarwood

Base

  • Tonka Bean

  • musk
Juniper and tonka over blond woods, the smell of a smoky Paris bar at closing.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
