Having reached its 60-year milestone, fragrance powerhouse Diptyque discusses its incredible brand story and exclusive new fragrance launch for the Middle East.
Diptyque has such a rich history of over 60 years. How has the brand evolved?
Diptyque’s adventure starts with a story of love and friendship that lasted 40 years between Christiane Gautrot, a graduate of the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs, Yves Coueslant, a graduate of the Ecole du Louvre and Desmond Knox-Leet, a painter from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts – three transdisciplinary creatives. They decided to create a place where they would only sell what they like. As “merchants of nothing” they hunted, found, decorated and diverted everything that inspires them.

Description
Luxury French maison diptyque, accompanied by Paris-based creative studio Like Fire, presents Orphéon, its new eau de parfum in homage to the mythical Parisian night bar: an artistic encounter place adjoining the first boutique at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain.
To immerse themselves in the effervescence and creative energy of the Parisian Left Bank in the 1960s, diptych and Like Fire have called on the talented musician Lewis OfMan. The artist offers both an olfactory and auditory experience, an original interpretation of the olfactory notes of perfumer Olivier Pescheux.
Lewis Delhomme started playing drums at the age of 11. He started his first compositions as Lewis OfMan with GarageBand on iPad. Lewis soon turned to his solo projects, experimenting with samples with his instruments and computer.
