A playful, spicy cologne with a green, contrasting freshness that is also subtly provocative – the thrill of a forbidden garden.
The first impression is a simple fragrance with citrus top notes of bitter orange, mandarin, lemon and petitgrain, mixed with aromatic herbs, red thyme and African rosemary. But then comes a sudden storm of surprising, intense, peppery notes of mint that tease the senses and underscore the delicious aura. Sensual, sunny immortelle flowers join the dance along with a hint of strong cedarwood and delicate white musk to envelop this subtle, wonderfully spicy fragrance.
Legend has it that an angel brought the recipe for this perfumed water, full of special properties, to a queen in Central Europe. Over the centuries, kept secret in European monasteries, this admirable and soothing water, often enriched with a base of citrus fruits and aromatic plants, blossomed. It was traded from Italy to Cologne, from London to Spain and all the way to Russia, becoming an essential part of the dressing ritual.

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.
