This fall, you can be transported to a charming café in the heart of Lebanon, whisked away to bask in the sun on an island off of Venice – then arrive in Kyoto – all without leaving your home. We are talking, of course, about Diptyque’s brand new ‘Le Grand Tour’ collection.
Diptyque’s ‘Le Grand Tour’ collection
In this new collection, Diptyque brings magical destinations alive, allowing you to experience the essence of Paris, Venice, Milies, Kyoto, and Byblos. We explore them, below.
1. Paris
2. Venise
3. Milies
4. Kyoto
5. Byblos
Diptyque’s Paris scent (opens in new tab) embodies passing antique shops before losing ourselves in the pages of old books found on the booksellers’ stands. At the heart of the arrangement, notes of polished wood and the spicy vanilla accents of weathered books and paving stones evoke this Parisian atmosphere where art meets history.
The second stop on your journey is in Venise (opens in new tab) — a location that’s near-and-dear to the founder’s hearts. Well-known to those familiar with La Serenissima – the vegetable garden of Venice – the scent is reminiscent of mandarin, green, aromatic notes of bell pepper, basil, and tomatoes.
The routes of Mount Pelion begin by the sea and reach Milies (opens in new tab) in Greece, the third stop-over of Le Grand Tour. On the way, fields of fig trees lined with cypresses. Further on, the fragrance of the immortals meets the cool breeze of the Mediterranean. The Milies perfumed oval and its marble beads, offered in a limited edition.
The next stop-over on Le Grand Tour is the Kyoto candle (opens in new tab). Inspired by Ikebana, the art of Japanese floral composition, it is consisting of three notes: the rose, incense, and vetiver speaking to the people, the heavens, and the earth. The fifth and final stop on the journey is Byblos. Influenced by the oldest port in the world, the large model Byblos scent (opens in new tab) consists of notes of roasted coffee and cedar, housed in a mixed earth pot. With surprising accents of cardamom, time stands still in a quaint cafe in the old souk of Byblos.
