    Diptyque quality, from perfume to wax

    All Diptyque candles are composed of fragrances that comply with IFRA standards, with a rigorous selection of raw materials and the exclusion of certain molecules as a health, environmental or ethical precaution.

    Their wax, of cosmetic quality, is mainly mineral: chosen for its exceptional olfactory release and clean combustion.
    Each fragrance benefits from a custom blend of waxes, for optimal and safe diffusion.

    Additional information

    Founded in 1961 in Paris, Diptyque is an iconic niche perfume house, born from the union of three creators passionate about drawing and design. Their first boutique, located on Boulevard Saint-Germain, marked the beginning of a unique olfactory artistic adventure. Diptyque perfumes, recognizable by their oval bottles, tell stories of real or imagined journeys through a sublime natural world. The house prioritizes emotion and originality with creations signed by perfumers such as Fabrice Pellegrin and Olivia Giacobetti. Diptyque embodies poetic elegance and creative freedom in French haute parfumerie.

    An oriental resin with mystical and balsamic swirls.
    Oriental, balsamic, amber — warm and meditative.

    At the heart of the ancient Orient, a resin. A cousin of myrrh and benzoin, opopanax reveals its soothing scent, combining warm honey, beeswax, and subtle flowers.

    Cinnamon, honey, and beeswax open the composition with a soft, golden warmth. Then opopanax reveals all its resinous depth, accompanied by patchouli which brings a darker, enveloping texture. The base becomes milky and comforting: tonka bean and vanilla prolong the sensation of an amber cocoon bathed in warm light.

    Opopanax transforms the space — like an ancient resin slowly consumed in the dim light.
