Diptyque - Fleur de Peau - Hand Cream

Mehr über Diptyque

Three friends, Scottish painter Desmond Knox-Leet, set designer Yves Coueslant, and Christiane Gautrot, who worked in an architectural firm, made a decision in the early 1960s. What ultimately led them to open a home decor shop on Paris's Saint-Germain Boulevard in 1961 is anyone's guess. In any case, the trio's plan was to offer printed cotton fabrics, furniture, and imported English perfumes. The latter were selling so well, so making their own scented candles promised the perfect blend of ambiance and perfume.

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.
