About Diptyque

Born in exuberant, ebullient Saint Germain, Paris, in 1961, Diptyque is a creator of singular perfumes for the self and the home, scented skincare products, desirable decorative objects… and olfactory stories that set the imagination free. Striking a balance between reverie and reality, Diptyque extends an invitation to this rich, evocative universe- this interplay of fragrance, illustration and mesmerising graphism- in which are distilled memories of places loved or dreamed of, of moments lived, of journeys shared.

Every day, with sincerity, bold liberty and whimsy, Diptyque continues to uphold its free-spirited, artistic approach, hovering between tradition and avant-garde, fascinated by eclectic, fertile encounters. In a constant search for excellence and rare, top quality raw materials, Diptyque draws inspiration from the past to reinvent the future, to surprise and offer imaginary journeys of the mind and the senses through each of its creations.

The Diptyque story begins on the Left Bank in Paris... In 1961, three adventurous aesthetes with eclectic passions and discerning tastes opened a boutique at 34 boulevard Saint Germain. Perhaps the first ever concept store, this chic bazaar contained the founders’ creations - fabrics, wallpapers, cushions and potpourri - and objects brought back from around the world. After winning the hearts of Parisians, Diptyque embarked on another journey, conveying its refined simplicity and art of living to the four corners of the globe. Its emblems – its typography, dancing letters, black-and-white design, and bottle ovals – are now recognized by connoisseurs everywhere as promises of sensory experiences and everyday pleasures.
