Hi All,

Have you tried Diptyque Volutes?

Which version do you prefer? the EDT or the EDP? and why?

I own the EDP version. Personally I don't think there's much difference between the two in terms of scent. Not sure about the longevity. The EDP version is average I'd say.

I own the edt, haven't tried the edp. Longevity is high for me.

I prefer the EdT, it's not as sweet. I found longevity similar for both.

I actually got better longevity in the EDT. Prefer the smell of the EDP. :/

EDP has more saffron and spices whereas EDT has more tobacco.

I've only tried the EDP.

At first I thought it was a direct copy of Chergui. As it wears on, I'm reminded more of Lubin's Idole. So, in a sense, it is "spice lite," rich and sweet, and not fresh at all. While not a heavy perfume, it is a "heavy" odor. Lovely, but not groundbreaking, nor is it deserving of all the press it gets, being SO post-Chergui/Idole.
