A Sin Tonic

image

Diptique Vinaigre de Toilette is a tonic for men and women. It is frequently misunderstood. I do not wear it for work but I do occasionally spray it on during a special occasion. The afterlife of this eau do toilette is perfect. Its composition blends herbs, spices, woods, neroli and incense. It is based on a 19th century formula and it was launched in 1975. It is misunderstood and some people test the smell and get offended by the vinegar odor. But this is where the sin tonic comes into play. Scented vinegars became popular in the mid 18th century with new washing habits. Vinegar was considered an astringent, cleanser, disinfectant and refresher. I admit I like to refresh once and a while.
