High Perfumery Pioneer - The Perfumer's Palette

Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean basin, Normandy or the heart of Paris… A map of the diptyque ingredients…

…It includes sandalwood from Mysore, vanilla from Madagascar, tuberose from the Indies or geraniums, lilacs and wild currants from a garden in Normandy. The sole purpose of these travels was to bring back the finest quality ingredients. When nature cannot provide what is needed, diptyque breaks away from traditional perfumery codes, following only its scientific mind. To bottle the atmosphere of its flagship store on Boulevard Saint-Germain, for example, diptyque used the modern technology of headspace. This pioneering practice involves creating glass bubbles that were originally designed to capture the scent molecules of rare flowers, found only in inaccessible places. Science completes the synthesis of the dream.

The most noble and subtle types of vetiver are found in the Haitian countryside. Its exceptional quality is what sparked the reorchestration of Vetyverio in an Eau de Parfum. This vetiver is certified ECOCERT – organic fair-trade production that’s socially and environmentally responsible. Committed to this project initiated by the Givaudan Foundation, diptyque supports a cooperative group of 300 vetiver farmers. The value of this initiative is not only commercial, vetiver is now recognized as an effective way to prevent the erosion of the island’s volcanic land.
