Each holiday season, my father gave everyone in the family the gift of fragrance.  He was a DIOR “Eau de Sauvage” guy. If you remember this fragrance, it was a scent from the 1960s with a distinctive green citrus signature. When I walk into a shop in Paris that specializes in perfume, it is nostalgic for me. Giving the gift of fragrance inspires memories of a person, a place or perhaps a time.   Fragrances are so much more than what they appear.  Fragrances create moments embedded in our memories.  

DYPTIQUE Creates the Pulse of a Season for FALL 2024

When the blossoms of summer begin to fade I look for something to celebrate the changing of seasons.  From the blossoms of summer to the woodsy scent of a forest to the stones along the shores of a beach,  DYPTIQUE never fails to capture a seasonal transition through fragrance. So, for those who are just entering the world ofDyptique, the fragrance collection is quintessentially French. As one of the first ‘boutique’ lifestyle scents in the perfume market, the brand continues to inspire, and surprise fragrance lovers.

The Dyptique Brand Story

The first store opened in 1961 at34 Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris. Three friends from the world of fine arts and decoration, Desmond Knox-Leet, Christiane Gautrotand and  Yves Coueslant were partners.  They displayed and sold their own original upholstery fabrics in the store that you can visit today located on Boulevard St. Germain. In fact, they named a fragrance after the store itself.  Their unique and quirky fragrance house began the golden era of boutique fragrances in the 1960s when traditional perfumes ruled the market, most notably, CHANEL No 5.   Their background in interior design inspired the home fragrance category as well. Their line of biodegradable products that are refillable was created to respond to their concern for the planet a
