    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.

    A caress between almond and apricot — soft, melting, comforting.
    Macadamia, shea, apricot, argan — soft, silky, nourishing.

    With Baume Généreux, Diptyque — a house founded in 1961 on Boulevard Saint-Germain — extends its olfactory universe into the most everyday care ritual: that of the hands. A fine, melting texture, inspired by sun-drenched orchards, which combines noble active ingredients selected for their effectiveness and sensoriality.

    The product melts on contact with the skin with remarkable lightness for a balm — macadamia oil and shea butter deeply nourish, apricot oil softens and smooths, argan oil protects and regenerates, candelilla wax envelops without occlusion. The result is immediate: hands are supple, smoothed and delicately fragranced with a slightly fruity almond signature, with a touch of tonka bean that prolongs the softness in a discreet and comforting trail.

    Baume Généreux is for those who want to pamper their hands with the same demanding standards they apply to choosing their perfume.

    Maison Diaphane's Take

    A tender and luminous treatment, like an almond veil on the skin. The macadamia-shea-apricot-argan combination is particularly well-balanced — the balm nourishes without feeling heavy, and Diptyque's almond-fruity olfactory signature is immediately recognizable. The Diptyque treatment to recommend first.

    Diptyque's Baume Généreux is a moisturizing hand balm formulated with macadamia oil, shea butter, apricot oil, argan oil, and candelilla wax. Almond and fruity signature with a touch of tonka bean. 50 ml format. Available at Maison Diaphane, official reseller. Free delivery from €100 (in France).

    Is the texture greasy?

    No — this is its great quality. Despite its richness in nourishing active ingredients, the balm melts quickly and penetrates without leaving a greasy residue. Hands feel silky and are immediately usable.

    Can it be used as a night treatment?

    Yes — applied in the evening before bed, it works all night to deeply nourish and regenerate. Very dry hands will particularly benefit from regular nightly use.

    How often should it be used?

    Any time of day as needed — after each hand wash for very dry skin, or morning and evening for regular maintenance. Its light texture allows for frequent use without discomfort.

    Is the olfactory signature similar to a Diptyque perfume?

    It is unique to Baume Généreux — almond, slightly fruity with a touch of tonka bean. It is not a transposition of a perfume from the range, but a signature developed specifically for this treatment, in the aesthetic and sensoriality of the house.
