Diptyque.
A world to discover.

Diptyque began in Paris in 1961, bringing together art, nature, and the curiosity of three friends. That creative background offers a way into its fragrances: start with a landscape, a material, or a memory. In this selection, Philosykos explores fig through fruit, leaf, and tree, while Tam Dao puts sandalwood and cedar at the heart of its eau de toilette. Follow the notes that interest you, meet the perfumers behind the scents, and compare concentrations before choosing what to try. This catalog includes standard releases, limited editions, and other fragrance formats; it is not a live inventory or a claim to cover every release.

The house / A brief history

Before the perfume,
a shared curiosity.

Desmond Knox-Leet, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, and Yves Coueslant opened Diptyque at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain. Their shop brought together their own designs and objects discovered on their travels.

Fragrance became another expression of that creative partnership. Nature, travel, and graphic art remain central to the house’s identity, connecting the scent inside a bottle with the imagery around it.

  1. 1961

    A Paris beginning

    The three founders open their shop at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain.

  2. 1963

    Scent enters the home

    The first candles introduce hawthorn, cinnamon, and tea.

  3. 1968

    The first eau de toilette

    L’Eau draws on a historic spiced recipe, beginning the house’s personal-fragrance collection.
