Product Information

Full details

The Diptyque Eau Capitale Solid Perfume is designed for adults seeking a portable, alcohol-free fragrance experience inspired by the traditional enfleurage technique. Its key benefit is offering an intense, lasting scent of chypre rose with floral notes of bergamot and patchouli in a solid balm format. A potential caveat is its solid form, which requires fingertip application and may have a different sillage compared to traditional sprays.

FAQs

How do I apply the solid perfume?

Gently rub your fingertip on the surface of the balm to warm it slightly, then apply directly to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears.

Is this perfume suitable for sensitive skin?

The solid perfume is alcohol-free, making it a gentler option. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it's always recommended to perform a patch test first.

How long does the fragrance last?

Longevity can vary based on skin chemistry and environmental factors, but the solid balm typically provides a concentrated scent that lasts for several hours.

Can I refill the case?

Yes, the Diptyque Eau Capitale Solid Perfume case is designed to be refillable. Refill cartridges are available separately.

What are the main scent notes?

The fragrance features notes of chypre rose, bergamot, and patchouli, creating a sophisticated floral and chypre profile.

What is the difference between solid perfume and Eau de Parfum?

Solid perfume is alcohol-free and applied directly to the skin, offering a more intimate and potentially longer-lasting scent experience that melds with body heat. Eau de Parfum contains alcohol and is sprayed, typically offering a wider scent projection.

Troubleshooting

Fragrance seems weak

Ensure the balm is applied directly to warm pulse points (wrists, neck) with fingertips to help release the scent. Reapply as needed throughout the day.

Balm is melting or soft

Store the solid perfume in a cool environment. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or hot cars.

Case won't open or close properly

Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
