Diptyque opened on Boulevard Saint-Germain in 1961 and released its first perfume in 1968; the house is known for stripped-back single-idea compositions (green rose, fig tree, tuberose, juniper) rather than heavy signatures. Scendira lists 141 Diptyque fragrances with 50 in stock. Prices run $20 to $345, the range includes solids, hair mists, EDT, EDP and Les Essences extraits. The catalogue leans fresh-unisex on average. Community's five standout in stock: Eau Rose Solid (fresh rose litchi, 2013), Orphéon Solid (juniper jasmine cedar, 2021), L'Ombre dans l'Eau Solid (green rose blackcurrant, 2012), Eau Capitale Solid (rose patchouli, 2020) and Lilyphéa (violet vanilla cardamom, 2024). Full-format anchors that don't appear in the top-five-by-rating but define the house: Philosykos (fig), Do Son (tuberose), Tam Dao (sandalwood), L'Eau Papier (soft musk).
