I find Philosykos much woodier, and longer lasting than even the PF Extreme…but they're all wonderful!

I've always liked the Diptyque line. Philosykos, Tam Dao and Oyedo are my faves – in that order.
I've never even sniffed the one's that are being axed, so I'll never know what I'm missing I guess.
I find Philosykos so similar to L'Artisan Premier Figuier that I can hardly tell them apart (oh, but one must buy the L'A EXTREME otherwise it simply vanishes) L'A is the award winning frag but I think for the money Philosykos is just as wonderful.

I have a nice big decant of Virgilio, and will have to make it last.

Very glad to hear that about EdG, although of course you're right it might be old. I'll have to hope I find an old one too.

No, not Virgilio. Diptyque why hast thou forsaken me? I guess I should budget a bottle against the possiblity.

Robin: I bought a brand new bottle of Eau de Guerlain in April. I sprayed it alongside the dregs of my old bottle and the scent was the same. It might have been old stock, so your mileage may vary.

In that case I will phone Diptyque and ask them for some samples I'm curious now.

Isn't it a shame? So far as I know, it is still a rumor — so wouldn't try to corner the market until you confirm w/ Diptyque.

A “snappy little fragrance” is a perfect description. Also loved what Luca Turin wrote in Perfumes: The Guide: “Is it a perfume? No idea. Can it be worn? I'll give it my best shot. One thing for sure: it's brilliant”.

Joe, they kept their absolute best (Philoskyos, L'Ombre, Olene, Tam Dao, Oyedo) but also their absolute worst (Lierre) and a couple that I would consider nice, but “slight” (Ofresia, Do Son). If it's true that all of those are gone, it sort of changes the aura of the line, youknow what I mean?

I would at least try Oyedo, it's a cool scent, but Hesperides might be more “wearable”.

That would be a hard choice. L'Eau de L'Eau is arguably the best of the 3, but it's the least “me”, and my next favorite is the Hesperides, but I already own Oyedo so don't feel the need for it. So, I'd take the Guerlain Laurier.

It's one of my favorite niche lines
