WE DON’T SEE CURIOSITY AS A VICE.
WE SEE IT AS ESSENTIAL.
Rounding off a year of celebration
This fifth and final collection delivers even more kind, thoughtful gestures and surprises.
The common thread is curiosity, time and again, an inheritance passed on by the trio of founding artists. All three were astute collectors, whose open attitudes and aesthetic perspectives – combined with their ability to discern the beauty in all things and unearth wonders – were the key to the Maison’s success and identity.
Through their unabashed curiosity, diptyque has become the very place to ferret out the perfect present, an authentic treasure that is both beautiful and lasting.
To mark its sixty-year anniversary
diptyque is highlighting this “essential flaw” even more strongly by offering a rich selection of surprising creations,
conceived to enthral and also to last, making them doubly precious. Like a big cabinet of curiosities overflowing with decorative and scented objects, the collection celebrates the 2021 festive season with the promise of the ideal gift. Beauty is a constant presence, one that is clearly visible in the collection’s graphic design – which takes inspiration
from the lines of the historic Basile pattern, reworked to evoke the veins decorating the walls of the first diptyque boutique at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain – and in the finishing touches and golden details on the products.
diptyque’s desire to combine form and function asserts itself more strongly than ever, taking its cue from the collection’s flagship product: the home fragrance diffuser, a decorative object in a timeless design.
The prismatic effects generated by the interaction of the reeds, the fragrance concentrate and the faceted glass of the container provide significant presence, creating a diverse interplay of light and relief.
Conceived to stand the test of time and to be infinitely rechargeable, this new diffuser was designed to perfume large spaces over extended periods – the reeds absorb and diffuse into the atmosphere, precisely as desired, one of the
Maison’s three emblematic scents; Baies, Roses or Tubéreuse. It completes the existing collection
of objects for the diffusion of diptyque perfume, broadening the range of available options and reaffirming the promise
of the Maison – a perfume for every use and for every occasion.
THE HOME FRAGRANCE DIFFUSER
Decorative and fragrant, timeless in its design, this new object rounds off the home fragrance diffusion collection.
Seen through the faceted glass sides and the playful reflections of light, the fine rattan stems are multiplied
to create a prismatic effect. Conceived to fragrance large spaces, the diffuser can be endlessly refilled with one of
the three scents in the range: Baies, Roses and Tubéreuse.
SCENTED CANDLES LIMITED EDITION
This unique collection is also illuminated by a trio of limitededition scented candles with gold-coloured lids, decorations
in actual gold paint and colours that call to mind malachite, lapis lazuli and cornelian.
Each of the three scents is a unique interpretation of a winter classic, and hence the ideal accompaniment for the holiday
season: Flocon, an olfactory transcription of snowfall, with light, velvety notes of white musks blended
with those of mimosa, a winter flower; Biscuit, with the spicy flavours of festive end-of-year desserts enhanced by the density of patchouli; and Sapin, the fragrant freshness of mountain pines intensified by the woody notes of an open fire.

The treasures of diptyque
Taking in the full spectrum of possibilities and responding to the
sheer diversity of the available presents
The Christmas 2021 collection holds out a never-ending promise of enjoyment. It concludes in beauty, with three new
arrivals: the first scented taper candles – Feu de bois, Ambre and Baies – not just a first for diptyque but also a substantial technical feat, combining perfume and hard wax while ensuring optimum combustion for such a thin object. diptyque is noted for its finely-honed, inquisitive eye and its capacity for offering astonishing objects and arousing our sense of wonder.
Accordingly, this collection, which celebrates both the holiday season and the sixty-year anniversary of the Maison, is set to delight with its richness, eclecticism and originality, plus its ability to think afresh about new product usage, all without any sacrifice in beauty or excellence.
The diptyque spirit has not changed – if anything, it has grown stronger with the passing years.
