Les Essences de Diptyque (The Essences of Diptyque) Discovery Set

Five treasures of nature. This set contains Les Essences de Diptyque (The Essences of Diptyque): a collection of exclusive fragrances with lingering sillages. Coral, mother of pearl, tree bark, water lily, and desert rose: none of which possesses a natural, distinctive fragrance of its own. Now, through olfactory and visual creations, they are revealed. Unique, precious, potent compositions in a miniature format, ready to awaken the senses.

Diptyque has always drawn inspiration from nature, whether in the wild or tamed by man. Nature enchants our gaze. It stirs our curiosity, feeds our creativity.

The Maison’s new collection, Les Essences de Diptyque (The Essences of Diptyque), freely reinterprets the treasures of nature, alternating between the realistic and the fantastical. Revealed in all their beauty, these treasures invite us to pause and admire them. Delicate and dreamlike, the five compositions in this collection are the product of an alliance between the perfumer’s nose and the hand of an artist. Each creation celebrates one of nature’s treasures—reinventing it in fragrance and exceptional drawings.

Corail Oscuro speaks of coral, flourishing across the bed of the Venetian lagoon. Its intricate red patterns ripple to the rhythm of the waters, the vibrant colour contrasting with the opacity of the depths. Renaissance painters had a name for this interplay of light and dark: chiaroscuro…and this in turn inspired the name of Corail Oscuro Eau de Parfum. In this perfume, mandarin is infused with rose bourbon absolute and carried by a salty mineral accord.

Lunamaris conjures up mother of pearl—a natural treasure symbolic of purity. It forms in concealment, hidden away inside a shell. Once revealed, its fragile beauty exerts a delightful allure. The changing, iridescent colours of mother of pearl are expressed in a fragrance that blends notes of pink peppercorn, incense, and rockrose.

Bois Corsé tells a tale of bark, the vital protective mantle that shields the vulnerable core of the tree. Exposed to the elements, it takes shape over time, developing rigid textures, irregular and yet pleasing to the touch. Bois Corsé offers a blend of black coffee absolute, sandalwood, and tonka bean that feels like an invitation to trace the knotty grain of the bark.

Lilyphéa celebrates the water lily—that remarkable aquatic plant, rising from the depths of a pond to reveal its beauty to the world. Upon glittering waters, it floats majestically. A dreamlike vision, captured in a fragrance that combines cardamom, violet leaves, and vanilla.

Rose Roche evokes the desert rose, a bloom shaped by air, water, and the sun. Exposed to the winds of the desert, over time this mineral, crystalline flower develops its graphic and distinctive contours. In this perfume, lemon notes meet those of centifolia rose and patchouli.

This limited edition set contain 5 unique 10 ml bottles. The ideal gift for others, a perfect treat for yourself—and a great way to discover this collection of very special fragrances.
