Diptyque - Paris

In 1961 three friends (Christiane Gautrot, Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet) began to explore their shared love of fragrance, starting with candles before launching their first eau de toilette, L'Eau, in 1968. A dazzling start to an extensive repertory of fragrances, all bearing the iconic black lettering on the renowned oval label.

Today, guided by this rich heritage, Diptyque perpetuates the creation of fragrances without reference to the masculine or the feminine.
