The fragrant substances in this hand and body gel, which transforms into a delicate foam on contact with water, develop an intense freshness. The green, woody accents of the fig trees of Philosykos unfold to their fullest, awakening the entire fragrance world of the Greek islands. You can almost see them in front of you, sun-kissed, lapped by blue waters and caressed by a gentle sea breeze. This perfume gel is like a painting whose landscape comes to life in the eye of the beholder.
In ancient times, fragrant oils were used to perfume not only the skin but also the hair. The oils helped to preserve the intensity of the fragrances and allowed them to blend with the incense nuances used to treat the fabrics. Later, in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, scent balls, musk apples and pomanders came into fashion, along with finely chiselled fragrance dispensers. There was also an abundance of ointments and elixirs... Over time, fixed rituals and precious objects developed around all these fragrance-diffusing substances.
Since its very beginnings, diptyque has drawn inspiration from this history of perfume and is now inventing a new ritual, a new art form of perfuming oneself.

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.
