A History: Diptyque was founded in Paris 1961 by three friends (painter Desmond Knox-Leet, set designer Yves Coueslant, and Christiane Gautrot, who was working in an architecture firm). Diptyque originally produced printed fabrics (this is made very obvious by their print work and design on the packaging!) but in 1963 they introduced a line of scented candles which eventually became the main focus of their business. There are now over 50 scented candles in the product line. In 1968 Diptyque produced their first scented water, L'Eau, which was later followed by a series of other scented waters, which are also available as home products such as soap.
The "famous nose" French Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti (Creator of Essence of John Galliano) created the Diptyque scents Philosykos (woody aromatic blend of fig tree leaves and white cedar) and Ofrésia (peppery white freesia on a woody note).
Try our Diptyque Scents at BLUSH:
L'Ombre dans L'Eau - Blend of blackcurrant leaf and Bulgarian rose ~ the scent of a green riverside garden.
Tam Dao - Oriental woody unisex scent made from the Oriental Goa sandalwood.
O'ye'do - (The ancient name for Tokyo) notes of Japanese yuzu fruit, grapefruit, lime, orange, mint, thyme and woods.
Tubereuse - Tuberose is the most expensive floral perfume ingredient in the world. It derives its sensuous, heady scent from a Mexican bulbous herb. The deep red frosted glass is the perfect color to exhibit this delicious scent.
Geranium Rosa - This scent evokes terraces along the Mediterranean where rose geraniums bloom. It is their leaves that give off a complex fragrance, both green and floral and slightly lemon-scented.
Roses - Smells like awakening Roses.
Santal - Sandalwood, a sultry blend of exotic woods and spices.
Baies - Fruity and floral scents which combines black currant leaves and Bulgarian rose essences. Baies is understandably Diptyque's best-selling candle and is also the twin fragrance of the famous L'Eau eau de toilette.
Figuier - From the crushed leaves of the fig tree, nutty scent.
Feuil de Lavende - A classic in every French home, lavender has long been way in front of the pack in terms of popularity and desirability in the home fragrance category, and we must say that this particular treatment of lavender is unparalleled in our experience.
