A herbarium of infinite scents
Since Diptyque created the first scented candles in 1963, the Maison has built up a collection of almost 50 scents. From Cannelle (Cinnamon) to Cyprès (Cypress), Gardénia (Gardenia) and Tubéreuse (Tuberose), and from Menthe Verte (Spearmint) to Tilleul (Linden Tree), Roses and Vanille (Vanilla), this herbarium of scents, exalted by the flame, is a vibrant tribute to nature – to its herbs, barks, spices, flowers and fruits.
Diptyque has been transmuting light into perfume since 1963. With its collection of classic scented candles, the Maison showcases olfactory treasures inspired by nature, and in so doing turns the spotlight on an exceptional herbarium of scents.
