Kyoto from Diptyque – Perfume Review

Kyoto is a limited edition EdT released by Diptyque in 2021 as part of its “Grand Tour” 6oth Birthday celebration collection. The perfumer is Alexandra Carlin.

I love a good rose perfume, but I have a lot of them. Too many, in fact. Last year I bought Eau Capitale anyway, and while it’s charming, I rarely wear it because I just have too many great perfumes to choose from. In the past year, I’ve become quite satisfied with what I have (aside from the excess of it all), and rather disinterested in things that are new. The volume and pace of new perfume releases has me jaded and skeptical. I’ll admit that I was only interested in Kyoto because the notes list mentions beetroot.

PHI Une Rose de Kandahar from Tauer Perfumes

I vaguely recall buying Une Rose de Kandahar a few years ago. I hadn’t thought about it in a long time when I retrieved it from my shelf. I couldn’t really remember wearing this, or even the discussions we had had about it. I enjoy rose fragrances, so I hoped I would be reunited with something that I had once loved.
