Diptyque, the esteemed Parisian fragrance house, has unveiled ‘Les Sensations de Diptyque,’ a captivating collection of premium fragrances inspired by the wonders of nature. Collaborating with four esteemed perfumers, Diptyque has meticulously crafted five unique scents, each encapsulating the essence of natural elements. The collection draws inspiration from the mesmerizing aromas of coral, pearls, water lilies, tree bark, and desert roses, paying homage to their subtle yet captivating fragrances.
Alexandra Carlin, a renowned perfumer, has created ‘Corail Oscuro,’ a fragrance that evokes the vibrant coral reefs of the Venetian Lagoon. This aquatic scent blends the sweetness of rose and mandarin with warm, salty mineral accords, creating a refreshingly alluring aroma.
Fabrice Pellegrin, another gifted perfumer, has crafted two captivating scents for the collection. ‘Luna Maris’ captures the iridescent beauty of mother-of-pearl with its spicy amber fragrance, blending the sweetness of cistus, the zest of pink pepper, and a touch of delicate incense. ‘Rose Roche,’ a citrus floral scent, encapsulates the essence of vibrant lemon, rich patchouli, and a captivating rose, creating a harmonious and evocative aroma.
The collection also includes two fragrances, a collaborative effort between perfumers Nathalie Lorson and Olivier Pescheux. ‘Bois Corse,’ influenced by the alluring aromas of tree bark and coffee, features a rich amber woody scent with the warmth of tonka bean and the milky sweetness of sandalwood. ‘Lilyphae,’ a green amber fragrance, interprets the artistry of Claude Monet’s breathtaking water lily paintings through the olfactory senses. This scent blends the refreshing notes of cardamom with violet leaves and a touch of sweet vanilla, creating a beautifully balanced and evocative fragrance.
The exquisite design of the fragrance bottles is a collaborative effort with Irish artist Nigel Peake. He reinterpreted Diptyque’s original bottle design, giving it a modern touch while maintaining the iconic oval shape, which now gracefully appears embossed on the glass. Each bottle features a delicate illustration on the back, showcasing the natural elements that inspired the fragrance. The spherical black cap provides a striking contrast against the clear crystal of the bottle, adding a touch of sophistication. To ensure environmental consciousness, the bottles are crafted from recycled materials, and the accompanying pouches are made from recycled cotton for added convenience and sustainability.
The fragrances are available in 100ml sizes, along with a discovery set featuring five 10ml mini-sizes, perfect for gifting or exploring the collection. The collection launches exclusively at Diptyque Aoyama, Kyoto BAL, and Isetan Shinjuku boutiques and the official online store on August 30th, 2024. The collection will then expand to select boutiques across Japan starting September 3rd, including GINZA SIX, Roppongi, Marunouchi, Shibuya Scramble Square, Futakotamagawa, Sogo Yokohama, Newoman Yokohama, and Sendai Fujisaki.
