Diptyque - Fleur de Peau - Hand & Body Lotion
A mythical fragrance, where musk meets amber and fruity notes, provides us with a unique olfactory experience. We are delighted to expand the product range with three more olfactory treasures.
The new shower gel and hand and body lotion transform your daily routine into a sensory experience. The nourishing hair perfume leaves your hair with a fragrant veil.
The perfume gestures are inspired by the history of perfume, their textures reinterpreted to offer a completely new way of perfuming oneself. A way to make the invisible tangible, the intangible graspable.
Fleur de Peau
The scent of skin: Musk fragrances. How do you create a musk fragrance today that is modern and subtle?
On the subject of musk… the 1960s were also characterized by a huge wave of empathy, a fascination with spirituality and Hindu practices. Transcendental meditation, yoga, vegetarianism. People formed circles, recited mantras, practiced long, sustained "Oooommms," and embraced free love. Summer of love.
Musk: Sometimes natural (imported from Tibet, where it's still affordable), but mostly synthetically produced, most pleasantly emitted from the bodies of loved ones: navel, backs of knees, palms of hands. Olfactorily speaking, musk goes well with the soft suede fringed jackets that the boys wear so effectively against bare skin.
How does one create a musk fragrance today that is modern and understated? By blending it with a touch of iris, matte and slightly cool, long-lasting, with a strong presence. This is how glove perfumers used to do it, impregnating their leather creations with it. Add a splash of bergamot and Italian mandarin, a handful of pink peppercorns. And aldehydes. Everything intertwines, bringing each other to life. An unusual contrast (surprise!) to what follows, but rounded and smooth.
The musk substances, carefully selected by Olivier Pescheux, dominate, alternating between leathery, powdery, and fruity. At times a little wild, then again as delicate as a baby's neck. Beneath them lies ambrettolide, which offers a foretaste of the ambrette seeds, which in turn form the link between angelica and carrot seeds, very similar to iris seeds, also wrested from the earth. A successful interweaving. Transition to earthy tubers, stoic, iron-rich, almost exuding the scent of a wine cellar, yet extremely aristocratic and refined. Graceful Turkish roses enter the scene, just in time to enliven this introverted heart. The fragrance concludes with an amber nuance, which not only contributes its ink and iodine accents but also underscores the vibrant expression of a "Peace and Love" perfume.
