Diem Chapter Two — the woody story of 2025
Diem Chapter Two is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 by Diem, a British perfume brand that creates eau de parfum fragrances.
The composition belongs to the woody family and immediately evokes a cool coniferous forest, where fresh air meets damp earth, moss and dry wood.
The name Chapter Two translates as “the second chapter” and feels especially fitting for a fragrance with such a pronounced natural character.
This is not a gender-coded perfume but a versatile composition for those who appreciate deep, refined and distinctive fragrances without being tied to traditional masculine or feminine conventions.
Character and development
At the opening, Diem Chapter Two unfolds with a rich green accord: a coniferous note blends with cypress and fir.
The result is cool, resinous and slightly astringent, creating the impression of freshly cut branches and the stillness of the forest.
As it develops, the composition becomes softer and more expansive.
Hinoki adds a clean, almost meditative woody nuance, while pine reinforces the green theme and preserves the feeling of walking among tall trees.
In the base, cedar, oakmoss, patchouli and resins give the fragrance greater density.
Sillage and wearability
According to its positioning, Diem Chapter Two has very strong sillage.
It is therefore noticeable in the surrounding space and develops best where it does not have to compete with a large number of other scents: during a walk, in a cool office, at an evening event or while travelling.
The eau de parfum feels especially natural in autumn, winter and early spring, when its woody and coniferous nuances are at their most expressive.
In warm weather, the composition may seem intense, so it is best to increase the dosage gradually. Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
Diem’s signature style
Diem Chapter Two presents a modern take on natural perfumery: there is no need to soften the forest motif with floral or sweet accents.
The fragrance is built around wood, moss, conifers and resins, giving it a composed, atmospheric and distinctive character.
Those drawn to rich green-woody compositions may also want to explore The Spirit of Dubai Abraj, as well as Hermès Rocabar and Esprit Esprit for my Spirit.
They offer an opportunity to continue exploring fragrances in which woody, resinous and earthy nuances play an important role, although each release has its own distinctive development.
