Setting the Imagination free
In Saint Germain, a neighbourhood brimming with the artistic and cultural ebullience of 1960s Paris, a creative adventure was born. Three multitalented aesthetes - Yves Coueslant, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot and Desmond Knox-Leet - were united by their travel-fueled imaginations, their fascination with great civilisations and their shared appreciation of beauty. Together, driven by boundless curiosity and with the freedom to explore it, they founded DIPTYQUE.
Creator of perfumes for the self and the home, scented skincare products and decorative objects, Maison DIPTYQUE tells stories that set the imagination free. Each creation is, in itself, a mini world, a fragrant journey with some familiar paths and others that nourish inspiration and cultivate wonder.
DIPTYQUE extends a poetic invitation to step inside this world of bounty. Here, letters dance. A simple sketch brings an entire lanscape to life. Emerging from the interplay of fragrance and image, it is a place between reverie and reality, between the intimate and the universal. Here, the imagination, liberated, may roam.
Since then, DIPTYQUE has produced numerous sophisticated collections. Fragrances, room fragrances, candles, cosmetics, and accessories in their very own, unmistakable signature. Inspired by nature and travel — the forgotten flavour of a particular fruit, the heaviness of a tree resin, an exotic spice, sweet and delicately scented flowers, the fragrant depths of a balsam and the subtle notes of wood.
