ATEEZ SMALL PERFUME REVIEW: DIPTYQUE — EAU DES SENS

disclaimer: this is not meant to be a serious perfume review; this is something fun for me to do as I love perfume. each and every one of us have different tastes and preferences when it comes to fragrances. what works for me might not work for you, vice versa. I’ll try my best to describe the scents, but I will always suggest for you to go and smell them yourself before purchase. if you want to try these perfumes, please test or get a sample before committing to the bottle. picture credits to all owners.

ateez member: yeosang

fragrance family: aromatic citrus

notes:

top — orange blossom

heart — juniper berries

base — angelica root, patchouli

my scent experience:

this fragrance opens with a white floral scent from the orange blossom, and it has a bright citrus element to it. it almost smells like oranges, but I could be wrong. as it settles it becomes clean and aromatic from the juniper berries which I think is nice. once the fragrance dries down, it transforms into this spicy aromatic scent, definitely from the patchouli. I'm not familiar with angelica root but they say it smells earthy and unfortunately, I don't get that earthiness in the dry down. the best way to describe this fragrance is white florals in a hotel lobby.

the projection is minimal, you can smell it but it's not strong on my skin. as this is an edt, this lasted about 3 hours on my skin which isn't the best if you want something that lasts all day but it's a good scent if you're running errands and want to throw something on. this is a cleaner scent and while it didn't give me a headache, it's not that interesting of a fragrance to me. it's nice and all but if I had a bottle of this, I wouldn't reach for it.

additional notes from me:

I'm not too sure if it's this fragrance or another Diptyque fragrance that Yeosang has been using lately as he did mention he has one in that voiceover live he did a while ago. I did look around to see if I missed anything and I noticed he had a bottle of this when he did his room tour, I just know a Diptyque bottle when I see it. him owning this fragrance makes sense as it is a floral with some fresh and spicy elements to it which he does have a few of those in his collection. when looking at each of their perfume collections, you'd notice their preferences and/or if they like to switch it up for a bit and Yeosang is someone who I think likes a good variety of scents.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who likes white florals.

those who want something light to spray on throughout the day.

anyone who wants to try out Diptyque fragrances.

if you've made it to the end, thank you for reading this review! this is a nice perfume and all, but I was expecting more from it and unfortunately it didn't work out in the end. I hope you enjoyed reading this review and let me know what perfumes you want to try out!

ateez member: hongjoong

fragrance family: musk

notes:

white musk, rose neoabsolute, suede, patchouli, sandalwood, cumin

my scent experience:

the opening for this fragrance is a very clean and powdery rose scent. it reminded me of how Byredo's Blanche opens except there was no aldehydic punch to it and I love that so thank you Balmain. as it settles, it becomes warm and musky from the suede which I don't mind smelling after the powdery floral opening. once the scent dries down, it's spicy, earthy yet musky at the same time and I was confused about this for a moment. I wasn't sure what I was smelling because it smells clean and soft yet earthy with a hint of spice, and weirdly enough, I like it. the best way to describe this scent overall would be washing your shirt with rose scented detergent, wearing the shirt around, and getting dirt all over it later on — all on the same day. it's very hard to describe this scent if I'm being honest.

the projection is strong when you first spray it, but it mellows out throughout the day. the longevity is pretty long as it lasted for about 12 hours on me, and I could still smell it on me the next day after spraying it on. I was perplexed about this scent as it's not a fragrance I would usually wear, and it got me second guessing myself about my feelings towards musky scents. while I was confused about the dry down, I will admit, I like it, and it got me intrigued. I'll need to wear this more to see if I want a full bottle.

additional notes from me:

I believe this is the perfume that Hongjoong initially wanted to keep for himself out of the collection but realized it wasn't for him and decided to give this to Yeosang. that being said, I don't know if he gave it to Yeosang and for all we know, it's with another member. I'm not the biggest fan of this kind of scent but if I had to own one clean and musky fragrance, it would probably be this. I do like roses, and I can get behind the earthy scent in the dry down so I might consider purchasing the full bottle. this was actually one of the fragrances I thought I was going to hate but I actually like this even if I was a little confused about the dry down.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who likes musky rose fragrances.

those who want a clean scent with a little edge to it.

anyone who wants to try out Balmain fragrances.

if you've made it to the end, thank you for reading this review! I believe this is the main fragrance Balmain is promoting out of the Les Eternels collection, and I didn't expect myself to like this one, but this surprised me. I hope you enjoyed reading this review and let me know if you tried Balmain's fragrances.

ateez member: wooyoung

fragrance family: fresh floral

notes:

top — pink peppercorn

heart — iris

base — musk, ambrette

my scent experience:

this fragrance starts off light, clean, and floral from the iris. the clean scent is not intense but it has a little sharpness to it which made me think there’s some aldehydes in this, but Diptyque never listed it as a key note. as it settles, it’s still remains light and clean, almost smelling like gentle soap. once it dries down, the scent is still clean, but there’s a warmth to it? I’m guessing it’s from the ambrette seeds but there’s something odd about this combination on me and I can’t really pinpoint what part of the scent is throwing me off. I believe it's the warmth lingering in the back that’s got me paranoid but I’m not really into this unfortunately. to me this smells like fresh floral soap and weirdly enough, I immediately thought of popping bubbles in a bubble bath.

the longevity is so crazy, I don’t know if it was on beast mode when I wore this because this lasted over 12 hours on me? I sprayed this around 5pm and I could still smell it on myself when I woke up the next day. it’s pretty rare for fragrances to do that on me as I’m used to 6–8-hour wear but lasting for that long is crazy I had to scrub it off in the shower that morning to remove it. the projection is on the softer side but it’s still noticeable which is nice for a cleaner scent. however, I was feeling dizzy for a moment while wearing this but what’s new here? most clean perfumes do that to me.

additional notes from me:

I really like Diptyque perfumes, and they make really good ones, but this one didn’t work out for me. I’m not the biggest fan of the clean and soapy scents and the feeling’s mutual because they make my head spin in a bad way. if I could get behind the scent in the dry down, maybe I could see myself wearing this, but you know who would love this scent? my mom. she likes cleaner and softer scents so I think I might get her the body lotion for mother’s day (she prefers scented body lotions over perfumes). she says she doesn’t wear perfume, but I remember her owning multiple perfume body creams during my childhood so in some way she wears perfume just not from a bottle.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who likes the scent of floral soap.

those who want something light, fresh and easy to wear.

anyone who wants to try out Diptyque fragrances.

if you’ve made it to the end, thank you for reading this review! I really wanted to like this perfume, but I can’t say the feelings were reciprocated and that’s alright! if it’s not meant to be, we’ve got to respect that. I do want to try this again in the future but for now, I want to try other fragrances. I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know what your favorite perfumes are!

ATEEZ SMALL PERFUME REVIEW: FREDERIC MALLE — EAU DE MAGNOLIA

ateez member: yeosang

fragrance family: woody floral

notes:

top — lemon, grapefruit, bergamot

heart — magnolia, vetiver, jasmine, calone

base — oakmoss, patchouli

my scent experience:

it opens very citrusy with the lemon and bergamot, almost like an air freshner in your aunty’s bathroom type of citrus. once it settles, you can definitely smell the magnolia and jasmine but citrus top notes do linger — basically white florals with a little bit of zest. the dry down is still floral but it’s a little earthy most likely from the oakmoss and I don’t smell the patchouli so that’s good. the best way I could describe this scent is being in a florist and someone wipes down the counter with lysol.

the projection isn’t the best one. you can hardly smell it unless you stick your nose onto your arm or wherever you applied it. the longevity is alright, it lasted for about 3 hours on me which for a Frederic Malle perfume, doesn’t sound too good.

additional notes from me:

the first time I’ve ever smelt this perfume was actually in my hotel room in Milan — the hotel’s hair and body products had used this exact scent. now everytime I smell this perfume, it feels like I’m back in Milan I miss that place so much. I’m so tempted to by the bottle because it reminds me of the city but I haven’t just yet. I don’t remember the scent being like how I described it but maybe it’s because the concentration differs between the products and if I’m being honest, I’m glad I didn’t buy a bottle. it’s not one that I would reach out for unfortunately.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who likes white florals and citrus perfumes.

those who want something light and are willing to splurge on an expensive fragrance.

anyone who wanted to try Frederic Malle perfumes.

if you’ve made it to the end, thank you for reading this review! this house was one that interested me for the longest time and I’m glad I got to review some of their fragrances before purchasing a bottle. this is also my 10th review! we’ve officially hit the double digits. let me know which fragrances you want me to review next!

ateez members: san & wooyoung

fragrance family: woody

notes:

top — italian cypress, myrtle, rose

heart — sandalwood, cedarwood

base — rosewood, spices, amber, white musk

my scent experience:

very woody and clean. there is also a hint of floral in the beginning from the rose. I’m not into clean scents as they tend to give me a headache but because it’s very woody, it works well for me. this perfume leans masculine with the notes of sandalwood and cedarwood but anyone can wear this. when the perfume dries down, it becomes a little bit spicy as well but the main notes are the heart notes listed. think of this as a clean woody scent with some spice.

sandalwood is a polarising note in fragrances and majority of perfume lovers don’t really like it but when it’s done right, it’s pretty good. wearing Tam Dao made me feel older(?) than I am but I guess it’s good since people don’t believe my age when I tell them.

additional notes from me:

I actually bought this at duty-free in Rome when I had a few hours to shop around before my flight. random fact, I was actually in Rome the same time San was back in july but I didn’t see him would’ve made a fool of myself if I did. anyway, I was tossing between Philosykos and Tam Dao but eventually picked the latter. seeing that both San and Wooyoung wear this perfume, I could totally imagine them wearing this and every time I wear this perfume, I could just pretend I’m wearing their jackets (am I entering my delulu atiny era?). according to the list, Wooyoung uses this perfume but a lot of people only mention San when talking about this fragrance so I’m not too sure if Woo actually uses it but I hope he does.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who likes woody fragrances.

those who like clean scents but don’t want to smell like soap or fresh laundry.

anyone who wants to try out diptyque perfumes.

if you have made it to the end, thank you for reading this review! this is the first review to feature multiple members and it’s pretty cool to see that some of them share the same fragrances. hopefully this doesn’t flop and I would love to know which perfumes you would like to try!!

ateez member: seonghwa

fragrance family: aromatic fruity

notes:

cassis, cypress, bergamot

my scent experience:

juicy, sweet and berry-like. if you don’t know what cassis is, it’s french for blackcurrant and blackcurrants in perfume are so good. I love that blackcurrants are sweet but not too sweet of a scent that it doesn’t make you feel sick. I love how juicy and delicious this smells and the bergamot makes it bright and fun. this is the body spray version of their best-selling bubble bar so if you are familiar with that product, you would like this.

the projection for this body spray is so intense, you only need two sprays to smell good. any more than that, it’s overpowering and can give you a migraine — thankfully I’ve learnt this the easy way from a Lush employee. the longevity however isn’t that great, it would last approximately 2 hours on me but considering it’s a body spray, I wasn’t expecting it to last forever.

additional notes from me:

the way seonghwa and I have the same taste in perfume? did not expect that but that means he’s got excellent taste in fragrances at least in my opinion. I bought this in store right before the pandemic so this was the scent I was wearing during lockdown lmao. it’s been quite a while since I’ve finished my bottle but I still think about it from time to time. I’ll probably buy a bottle when I visit Lush as I’ve heard stories of the body sprays leaking in transit. I just checked online and they also sell this scent as a soap bar so that’s pretty cool.

who would I recommend this to?

anyone who loves the scent of blackcurrants and/or enjoys the comforter bubble bar.

those who love fruity scents.

anyone who wants to try out Lush body sprays.

if you made it to the end, thank you for reading this review! writing small reviews for fragrances that seonghwa uses was a breeze. the real challenge is writing for the rest of the members especially wooyoung he has too many. hopefully this doesn’t flop and I’ll try my best to write more reviews soon.
