Diptyque - Eau des Sens - Cleansing Hand and Body Gel

Beneath the cascades in the Garden of the Hesperides, upon first contact with water, the cleansing gel for hands and body transforms into a silky lather that sends a pleasant shiver down the skin's spine. Shea butter moisturizes the epidermis, leaving it velvety soft. The scent of orange blossom and bitter orange, interwoven with hints of juniper berries and petitgrain, brings a smile to the nymphs' faces and serenades the birds.

Whether based on real experiences or born of imagination, the journeys so dear to diptyque always possess a fantastical dimension. This summer, the brand travels to the Garden of the Hesperides, that mystical place in the far west reserved for gods and nymphs. To embody this mythological paradise, the artist duo Carnovsky created bewilderingly hallucinatory illustrations that capture the sensuous fragrance theme of L'Eau des Sens. The two designers invent unique landscapes and create a fantasy garden that brings the myth to life in a modern way.

What happens in the Garden of the Hesperides?
The heat makes the air shimmer, awakening a longing for a cool bed of velvety moss. Nature seems to crackle with energy, the nymphs of sunset roam about. The vegetation exudes fragrant scents that intoxicate the senses. Citrus fruits play hide-and-seek with the animals, while the goddesses of twilight watch with amusement.

The nymphs laugh and rave, for oh, ecstasy! Oh, delight! Two new rituals in the spirit of Eau des Sens expand the range of perfume applications and ignite enthusiasm! Bodies tremble, hands caress, heads whirl, and hair exudes a delicious fragrance, as if electrified by so much sparkling freshness… An imaginative visual immersion by the Carnovsky duo into the heart of the idyllic Hesperides orchard. The melting, sparkling notes of Eau des Sens bubble forth among the plants, bewildering the animals, delighting the sunset nymphs, who are swept away by the splendor of the colors.
