Over
five odd decades, legendary French perfumer Diptyque has been making fragrant
scents that are recreated from the exotic travel memories and childhood
reminiscences. Diptyque began as fabric and wallpaper design studio, but
steadily it graduated into making scented candles and later perfumes.
Diptyque
story began in the year 1961 at the 34 boulevard Saint-Germain, where a trio of
friends – painter Desmond Knox-Leet, interior decorator Christiane Gautrot and
theatre administrator and set designer Yves Coueslant, driven with the same
objective got together.
Fragrances from the legendary French
perfumer bear naturalness and simplicity
It
was in 1968 when Diptyque introduced the L’Eaux – their first perfume. It was a
picture perfect start for an extensive repertoire of perfumes that would
follow. Each perfume ever made by Diptyque exhibits the innocence of childhood
with a subtle blend of fragrance gathered from all parts of the world. All Diptyque
fragrances take the user on an endless journey of cultures, places and
their aroma.
Diptyque
perfumes feature engraved iconic black lettering 34 boulevards Saint-Germain on
their oval label, which are a sign of their genuineness and purity.
Far reach
In
addition to scented candles and a long list of perfumes, Diptyque
also creates room fresheners and fragrances for homes. The perfumer has an
incredible repertoire of home fragrances in its kitty, which have become a part
of thousands of lives over the years.
France-based
perfumer currently has stores in Paris, Dubai, New York, London, Doha, San
Francisco, Chicago and Hong Kong. In 2005 Diptyque was bought by London based Manzanita
Capital.
