Essences by Diptyque: a collection of exclusive fragrances

Nature. An endless source of inspiration underpinning the Maison Diptyque’s fragrances and objects, brimming with intriguing gems that are void of any one particular scent. Diptyque has drawn on these wonders of nature to dream up a collection of exclusive essences. Stirring the senses and sparking authentic feeling along the way.

Exclusive fragrances inspired by the natural world

The Maison Diptyque captures, cherry-picks and pairs scents sourced from nature. Desert rose, coral, bark and water lily unfold in a collage of scentless natural gems. The Maison’s creatives were inspired by these elements in their quest to tap into new olfactory profiles. The exclusive eaux de parfum lead the imagination down a wandering trail, sparking memory and the purest of emotion. An olfactory journey deep into the heart of a dreamlike world where beauty reigns supreme. Reality taken to new levels.

A legacy of expertise

The Maison puts its unique know-how to work in paying tribute to nature, drawing on the same approach to craftsmanship that gave rise to Diptyque’s great classics, from eaux de parfum and eaux de toilette to scented candles and room fragrances. A legacy that has been spurring on our master perfumers for close to sixty years now. From the streets of Paris to childhood memories and its founders’ travels, the brand’s collections unleash the imagination.

Exclusive fragrances that unlock a unique perspective

Diptyque's exclusive fragrances capture the emotions and sensations sparked by nature’s finest gems, turning intuition into scent, and fleeting feeling into an entirely new olfactory composition. Luxury fragrances that serve up a snapshot of the world around us and the Maison’s unique perspective.

Bottles that ford the gap between yesteryear and today, here and beyond

For this collection of extraordinary fragrances, the Maison Diptyque has conjured up a fresh take on its ‘heritage’ bottle, embedding the glass oval into the bottle like a window onto the world, the scent’s name inscribed in raised lettering and the opaque black cap contrasting beautifully with the diaphanous glass. This simple, sophisticated piece is wrapped in a fabric pouch embellished with an oval and set in an elegant black cardboard box. Diptyque collaborated with illustrator Nigel Peake, who painted a series of delicate watercolours that unfold like invitations to explore the collection’s five fragrances. The artist deftly combines realism and the imaginary to express his vision of raw, poetic nature. The eco-designed packaging and bottles are made from recyclable materials, including reusable boxes and lightweight glass. The bottles can be refilled in stores.

An exclusive collection by master perfumers

True artists in their own right, the master perfumers harness their imaginations to conjure up evocative fragrances that capture pearl, water lily, bark, desert rose and coral. Fabrice Pellegrin, Nathalie Cetto, Olivier Pescheux and Alexandra Carlin: all leading noses and long-standing friends of the Maison who embarked on an unusual creative process, drawing on their senses and imaginations to give each of these natural treasures their own scent. The perfumers carefully picked each and every ingredient for their olfactory qualities, staying power and sillage intensity. Each natural raw material is sourced with the greatest of care, with the Maison guaranteeing traceability.

A brief history of niche fragrance

Niche fragrances are for curious souls and travellers at heart on the lookout for unique scent. These perfumes shine in their premium quality and thoughtful compositions. Niche fragrances first emerged in the 18th century, when independent perfumers began offering bespoke scent. This tradition took root over time, paving the way for fragrance houses dedicated to the art of artisanal perfumery, where each scent has a special story to tell. Diptyque is committed to tirelessly exploring new ground in a manifestation of the way in which fragrance has no limits beyond the master perfumer’s imagination.

An ode to niche fragrance

Niche fragrances are characterized by a creative approach that puts the emphasis on originality and authenticity: a drive to respect nature’s most precious treasures while tapping into rare ingredients for complex olfactory experiences made to last. The Maison’s artisanal perfumers consistently prioritize attention to detail, from choosing their raw materials to crafting the bottles, turning niche fragrances into pieces of art to delight the senses.
