Founded in Paris in 1961 by a trio of artists—interior designer Christiane Gautrot, painter Desmond Knox-Leet, and theater director Yves Coueslant—Diptyque began as a chic bazaar on Boulevard Saint-Germain. Initially a showcase for their fabric designs and unique objects discovered during travels, the brand soon ventured into scent. In 1963, they introduced their first scented candles, transforming a utilitarian object into a decorative and sensory experience that would define a new art of living. The brand's identity is rooted in a passion for nature, travel, and the arts, with each fragrance conceived as an olfactory journey inspired by real or imagined landscapes, from the fig groves of Greece (Philosykos) to the seaside breezes of Vietnam (Do Son).
