About Diptyque Virgilio
The name Virgilio sounds like a poem, and for good reason: launched in 1990 by Diptyque, this fragrance is dedicated to Virgil, the ancient poet who celebrated nature.
The perfume was created by the talented duo of perfumers Desmond Knox-Leet and Serge Kalouguine. It is a eau de toilette for both women and men, belonging to the aromatic and woody fragrance families.
How Virgilio Unfolds
From the very first seconds, the fragrance greets you with vibrant, almost daring basil—fresh, spicy, and touched with a hint of anise.
At the heart, basil is joined by caraway and a woody accord, lending warmth and structure to the composition.
The base is a classic pairing of cedar and vetiver: refined woods with earthy, subtly smoky nuances.
Virgilio is a story of contrasts: green notes give way to spice, and spice leads into woody depth.
Character and Sillage
This perfume is for the bold and self-assured. Despite the apparent simplicity of its notes, it has a multifaceted character and leaves a very strong trail.
Virgilio is ideal for cool weather: in spring or autumn, it unfolds most fully, evoking a stroll through a Tuscan garden.
Its unisex character makes it versatile—the fragrance smells equally great on both male and female skin.
How to Wear It
Thanks to its brightness and longevity, Virgilio needs no extra effort. One or two sprays are enough to ensure you receive attention all day long.
It is best applied to clean skin or clothing, avoiding areas where it may mingle with other scents.
Similar Fragrances
If you like Virgilio, consider other perfumes with a similar mood: Tiffany Tiffany & Love For Her, Chopard Vétiver D'Haïti Au Thé Vert, and Kenzo L'Eau Kenzo Intense Pour Homme.
Each interprets the theme of greenery and woods in its own way.
