A luxury scented candle is distinguished by the precision of its composition, the mastery of its burn and how faithfully it delivers its scent. At Diptyque, every luxury candle rests on candlemaking savoir-faire cultivated for more than 60 years.



In its two workshops, near Paris and in Provence, the Maison develops a blend specific to each scent and each size, combining up to eight types of wax. The choice of wick, the pouring temperature, and the resting time all contribute to a faithful diffusion of the scent, whether the candle is unlit or burning.



Several months of development and around ten manufacturing steps, some done by hand, give rise to Diptyque scented candles, available in an herbarium of nearly 50 scents inspired by nature.

Yes, Diptyque perfumes belong to luxury perfumery through the singularity of their compositions, the choice of raw materials, and an artistic approach unique to the Maison. 

Born in Paris in 1961 from the meeting of three artists, Diptyque cultivates a free vision of perfume creation, inspired by nature, art, and travel. Inherited from the founders, this approach closely joins perfume and design. Perfumers and illustrators work hand in hand to translate a single inspiration into both an olfactory composition and an image. This signature distinguishes Diptyque as a luxury perfume brand. 

The Diptyque perfume collection brings together eaux de toilette, eaux de parfum, and exclusive creations, exploring four major olfactory families: citrus, floral, woody, and amber. Each fragrance invites the discovery of singular materials and accords, between real memories and imagined journeys. 

Yes, Diptyque offers luxury perfumes for women and men, without gender distinctions. The Maison considers each fragrance a free creation, to be chosen according to olfactory preferences, emotions, and memories, rather than a feminine or masculine classification.

For anyone looking for a luxury women's or men’s perfume, the Diptyque collection presents a journey through different olfactory families. Eau Rose reveals the facets of damascena and centifolia roses. Philosykos evokes the fig tree, from the freshness of its leaves to its milky and woody notes. Orphéon, in its eau de parfum version, pairs cedar, tonka bean, and juniper berries.

Whether floral, citrus, woody, or amber the Diptyque perfume collection makes it possible to choose a fragrance according to one's sensibility, regardless of gender.

To choose between a luxury eau de parfum and an eau de toilette, consider the intensity desired, but also the character of the composition. At Diptyque, the eau de parfum is not simply a more concentrated eau de toilette. It offers another interpretation of the same olfactory story.

The eau de toilette generally favors a lighter, fresher expression, while the eau de parfum accentuates certain accords and reveals new facets. 

Do Son illustrates this distinction. Its eau de toilette combines tuberose, orange blossom, jasmine, and a marine accord, evoking the breeze of Halong Bay. In the eau de parfum, the tuberose becomes more enveloping, accompanied by an amber wood accord, like a flower at dusk. 

The choice depends as much on individual taste as on the intensity desired. 

For a luxury gift, Diptyque offers perfumes, scented candles, gift sets, and personalizable creations, to be chosen according to the tastes and habits of the receiver. 

For a luxury gift for a woman or a man, a perfume gift set invites the discovery of several fragrances, while a luxury candle gift set makes it possible to explore different scents for the home. A signature perfume or an iconic candle will suit a person whose olfactory preferences are already known. 

The Gift Finder can help with selection according to the giftee’s personality. Engraving on certain creations, the signature gift box, and its personalized card make the gift even more memorable and meaningful.

To scent a home, Diptyque offers luxury scented candles, home fragrances, and refillable diffusers as different ways of bringing a scent into the home or workplace, enhancing its atmosphere. 

A luxury scented candle accompanies a moment with the glow of its flame. A home fragrance spray diffuses a scent instantly, while a luxury home fragrance diffuser releases it gradually, over several hours. 

At Diptyque, the scented ceremony for the home or workplace unfolds in three acts: choose a glass bottle from three sizes, select a home fragrance concentrate, then arrange the rattan reeds that diffuse the scent. A glass stopper pauses the diffusion. 

The home fragrance diffuser collection offers scents including Baies (Berries), Ambre (Amber), and Tubéreuse (Tuberose), to compose an enhanced atmosphere. 

Maison is the French word for “house,” as in a perfume house or fashion house, an establishment defined by its heritage and craft, not by a single product. Diptyque is a French Maison of perfumery and luxury creation, whose identity rests on an artistic heritage and artisanal savoir-faire cultivated since 1961. 

Its story begins at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, where Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, Desmond Knox-Leet, and Yves Coueslant brought together their sensibilities for art, curiosities, and travel. In 1963, they created their first scented candles, Aubépine (Hawthorn), Cannelle (Cinnamon), and Thé (Tea), before the Maison developed its olfactory universe. 

From those first candles, the Maison has grown to include perfumes and objets d’art for the home, and the story continues today across all three. Its glassmaking savoir-faire illustrates the expansion of the Maison’s universe well. Diptyque collaborates with French and European glassworks, notably for its votive holders, whose plays of light reveal the qualities of the glass and elevate the flame. 

Diptyque’s heritage is the story of the Maison’s origins and of the inspirations that feed its creations, a universe waiting to be discovered. 

For bath and body, Diptyque offers shower gels, scented soaps, scrubs, lotions, balms, and oils among other gestures that unite skin and body care with the pleasure of fragrance. 

Diptyque's scented cleansing gels invite the pleasure of fragrance into the shower. A moisturizing lotion or scented oil completes the ritual. A luxury soap, available notably in the fragrances Eau Rose, Do Son, or 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain, can also be part of daily cleansing. 

Inspired by ancient bathing rituals, the collection Les Rituels de Soin accompanies two moments of the day. Morning, to awaken the body and the senses, and evening, to invite calm and release. 

Discover the different textures in the world of body care, bath, and shower selection. 

Yes, Diptyque offers refillable creations among its luxury perfumes, scented candles, home fragrance diffusers, and body care formulas. It is a beautiful way to extend the olfactory experience while keeping the Maison's precious vessels.

For certain eaux de toilette and eaux de parfum, a refill service is available at select Diptyque boutiques. 

The luxury scented candles Baies (Berries) and Figuier (Fig Tree) have refills designed for the new compatible classic vessels. The Les Mondes de Diptyque candles have their own refills. 

Home fragrance diffusers are refilled with fragrance concentrates. Some hand and body care formulas are also offered in refillable format. 

As each refill is designed for a specific creation, compatibility can be verified on the product page or in the Diptyque refillable care collection. 

To ensure that a Diptyque product is authentic, check where it was originally purchased. The Maison’s creations are sold in Diptyque boutiques, on the official website diptyqueparis.com, and through authorized retailers only. 

A product offered on an unauthorized site, or at an abnormally low price, cannot be guaranteed authentic. It may be counterfeit, or the site itself may be fraudulent, seeking to collect personal and banking information.
