Diptyque Unveils Les Essence de Diptyque: A New Fragrance Line Inspired by Nature’s Unseen Scents

Diptyque, a name synonymous with exquisite fragrances and a spirit of artistic exploration, has embarked on a new chapter in its olfactory journey. The French perfumery, known for its unconventional approach and captivating storytelling, has unveiled Les Essence de Diptyque, a groundbreaking new fragrance line that pushes the boundaries of scent creation.

This collection, born from Diptyque’s relentless pursuit of innovation and fascination with the natural world, embraces the unseen—the intangible aromas of coral, mother of pearl, tree bark, water lily, and the desert rose crystal. Each scent is a testament to Diptyque’s unwavering commitment to artistic expression, inviting the wearer to embark on a sensory journey that transcends the conventional.

To capture the essence of these unique elements, Diptyque enlisted the expertise of four renowned perfumers: Alexandra Carlin, Nathalie Cetto, Olivier Pescheux, and Fabrice Pellegrin. Each perfumer brought a distinct perspective and a wealth of experience to the project, resulting in five captivating fragrances that defy expectations and spark the imagination.

Corail Oscuro

, crafted by Alexandra Carlin, draws inspiration from the Venetian lagoon, capturing the aquatic essence of coral. The fragrance blends the salty tang of the sea with the floral sweetness of rose bourbon absolute and the crystalline sparkle of mandarin, creating a captivating olfactory experience that evokes the delicate balance between the surface and the depths of the ocean.

Bois Corsé

and

Lilyphéa

, created by Nathalie Cetto and Olivier Pescheux, respectively, explore the rich and complex aromas of tree bark and lily leaf sap. Bois Corsé, a woody and evocative scent, combines the bitterness of coffee absolute with the milky essence of sandalwood and the sweetness of tonka bean, creating a captivating fragrance that lingers on the senses. Lilyphéa, a lighter and more refreshing scent, evokes the delicate aroma of lily leaf sap, blending notes of cardamom, Madagascan vanilla, and galbanum essence for a balanced and graceful composition.

Rose Roche

, crafted by Fabrice Pellegrin, challenges the traditional perception of rose with an unexpected twist. Inspired by the desert rose, a rare flower that blooms under harsh conditions, the fragrance blends the bright, floral notes of citrus fruits with the deep textured notes of patchouli, creating an earthy and invigorating scent that evokes the desert winds and the minerals of the sand.

Lunamaris

, also created by Fabrice Pellegrin, is a captivating exploration of the iridescent beauty of mother of pearl. The fragrance eschews the salty scent of the sea, instead focusing on the delicate shimmer and colors of the shells, blending the resinous note of incense, the spicy warmth of pink peppercorn, and the amber warmth of rockrose to create a radiant and alluring scent.

To showcase the exquisite new fragrances, Diptyque has created a striking bottle design, a collaboration with artist Nigel Peak. Sleek illustrations inspired by each fragrance are engraved in opaque black on an angular glass bottle, adorned with the signature Diptyque oval. The bottle is completed with a spherical aluminum stopper and comes in a refillable format, ensuring that the exquisite fragrances can be enjoyed for years to come.

Les Essence de Diptyque marks a new era for Diptyque, a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to innovation, artistry, and the captivating power of scent. With each fragrance, Diptyque invites us to embrace the unseen, to discover the hidden wonders of the natural world, and to experience the magic of scent in a whole new way.
