Behind the sound of it simple name, Eau de Lierre, lies the ambiance of gardens where the unique perfumes of leaves, blossoms, and water combine in a joyful and harmonious symphony of scent, the very breath of nature.

This eau de toilette reflects the quest for freedom and expression so typical of English gardens. Ivy, lierre, is a powerful symbol in the divinely poetic world of plants, the definitive emblem of attachment.

Inspired by a voyage along the spice route, the promise of dreams and exotic horizons, diptyque honors the adventurous soul of the Vanilla.

Influenced by aromas found in legendary cities such as, Babylon and Goa, Venice and Carthage, Constantinople and Baghdad, vanilla experiences a unique olfactory journey. Refined between shadow and light, brightened up by a vibrant top note of cold spices, then made sensual by black frankincense, its powers of seduction are devilishly engaging.

Poetically named L’Ombre dans l’Eau, it is a fragrance that recalls a lush garden at water’s edge capturing the memory of a friend of the three founders. One day, this dear one was gathering roses and blackcurrants ; stretching her hand out to Desmond Knox-Leet, she suggested that he work on this accord, one of potent originality.

Inspired by a Normandy garden in the springtime glittering with dew, this fragrance pays homage to pristine white freesia blooms with rounded, delicate blossoms and the poignant promise of complex as well as subtle perfumes. To express this pure and innocent flower on a more earthly plane, diptyque paired it with black pepper – piquant, disquieting, insolently mysterious and appealing.

A fresh, joyous and distinguished scent, warmed by sun-drenched thyme, this eau de toilette is named after the city of Edo.

The former name of Tokyo, where very fresh scents, structured upon citrus fruit, such as yuzu (multifaceted cousin to the lime), were very much in demand, it recalls a citrus orchard on the shores of the Pacific.

“In the heat of a Greek summer, “to get to the sea you had to walk through a natural orchard of wild fig trees”,recalls Yves, one of diptyque’s founders. Returning from Paris, Desmond brought back a few leaves of these trees in a little box only to discover that, years later, the leaves had lost none of their fragrance.

Philosykos, which in Greek means “friend of the fig tree”, is an ode to the entire fig tree: the green, pungent freshness of the leaves, the wood warmed in the sun and the milky flavor of the fruit.
