Diptyque stands out as a beacon of elevated scents, and crafts some of the best luxury perfumes and home fragrances in the industry.
Founded in Paris in 1961, Diptyque has captivated the world with its exquisite perfumes, artisanal candles, and finely crafted home fragrances. With a rich heritage steeped in creativity and a commitment to quality, the brand has garnered a cult following among discerning connoisseurs seeking unique, sensorial experiences.
I don’t consider myself a fragrance aficionado, but as part of my self-care routine I’ve curated a small signature collection of perfumes and home scents that I absolutely adore. I blend a variety of fragrances to craft tailored aromas, and Diptyque is always included in the assortment.
Core Categories
Diptyque offers a diverse selection of fragrance options for the body and home, each embodying the essence of luxury and sophistication. From scents that evoke memories of distant lands to artisanal candles that illuminate interiors with warmth and elegance, Diptyque's range of products reflects a commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
Perfumes
Diptyque's perfumes are renowned for their complexity, sophistication, and timeless appeal. From floral bouquets to woody accords, each scent is meticulously crafted using the finest ingredients sourced from around the globe. Whether evoking memories of a Parisian garden or transporting one to exotic locales, Diptyque's fragrances offer a sensorial journey unlike any other. I find them to be moderately scented (not too heavy or light) and long-lasting.
Candles
Diptyque's candles are also coveted for their exquisite craftsmanship, long-lasting burn time, and evocative scents. Hand-poured using a blend of high-quality waxes, each candle is infused with carefully curated fragrance compositions, creating an ambiance of warmth, comfort, and luxury. From classic favorites to seasonal delights, Diptyque's candle collection caters to every mood and occasion. Of all the scents I’ve tried, there isn’t one yet I haven’t liked.
Home
Beyond candles, Diptyque offers a range of home fragrance solutions, including room sprays, diffusers, scented ovals, and cleaning products. Designed to elevate the atmosphere of any space, these products infuse interiors with the brand's signature scents, transforming houses into sanctuaries of style and serenity. I use several of their home offerings to elevate the ambiance of my space.
Bestselling Products
I’ve included an edit of the brand’s iconic offerings, along with some of my personal favorites. Though these embody the essence of the brand, there are a variety of scents and formats to choose from. I would suggest purchasing your products direct from Diptyque, if possible, as they always come with beautiful packaging, reusable cloth bags, and a variety of samples. As always, we only recommend high-quality essentials we love and think you will too, and may receive a small commission if you indulge in a suggested product.
Do Son Eau de Parfum
This is a captivating floral fragrance that blends tuberose blossoms with hints of orange and jasmine. If you are seeking something a bit romantic and ethereal, this perfume is for you. It has a sensuality to it that will definitely leave a lasting impression.
Figuier Scented Candle
Inspired by the lush foliage of a fig tree, Figuier will transport you to a sun-drenched Mediterranean garden. Think ripened fruits mingle with verdant leaves under the summer sun. With its fresh, green fragrance, this candle embodies the essence of natural beauty and tranquility. Despite being summer-centric, I burn it all year long.
34 Boulevard Saint Germain Room Spray
This is an evocative scent that is meant to encapsulate the essence of the iconic Parisian address from which it draws its inspiration. It is one of my favorite scents in Diptyque’s collection because it features hints of wood, spices, and herbs, creating an elevated ambiance. The room spray offers a convenient way to refresh any space, leaving behind a subtle veil of fragrance that lingers throughout the day.
Baies Scented Oval
A perennial favorite, Baies combines the essence of freshly picked roses with the tart sweetness of blackcurrant leaves, resulting in a scent that is both delicate and invigorating. I keep these elegant, porcelain ovals in my drawers, closets, and other small spaces. Perfect for adding a touch of luxury to often overlooked areas. It’s also the perfect way to layer on top of your scented candles and room sprays to build a customized aroma.
34 Boulevard Saint Germain Hourglass Diffuser
This innovative diffuser combines artistry with functionality, using a unique hourglass design to slowly release fragrance over time. I prefer it in 34 Boulevard Saint Germain, but it’s available in a variety of Diptyque’s bestselling scents. The diffuser is gorgeous and will instantly update the aesthetic of any room.
Ambre Electric Diffuser
These diffusers are a sleek and stylish way to enjoy Diptyque's signature scents. I keep them in several rooms where they effortlessly disperse a subtle yet inviting fragrance throughout. This is a great way to try out difference scents. I’m currently using Ambre which has a woody and spicy profile that’s a bit more heady than the aforementioned fragrances.
Nabati Eau de Parfum
This fragrance is relatively new to Diptyque’s collection, but has quickly become my go-to. I get stopped often by men asking what it is so they can purchase it for their wife or girlfriend — it’s just that striking of a scent. It’s a beautiful blend of bergamot, petitgrain, and amber that I customize by spritzing on top of my favorite botanical oil blend.
