The fragrant substances of this hand and body gel, which transforms into a delicate foam upon contact with water, develop an intense freshness. The green, woody accents of the fig trees of Philosykos fully unfurl, and the entire olfactory world of the Greek islands awakens. One can almost see them, sun-drenched, lapped by blue waters, enveloped by a gentle sea breeze. This perfume gel acts like a painting, whose landscape comes alive in the eye of the beholder.
In antiquity, not only the skin but also the hair was perfumed with fragrant oils. The oils helped to preserve the fragrance notes in their full intensity and combined with the smoky nuances with which the fabrics were treated. Later, in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, scent balls, musk apples, and pomanders came into fashion, as well as finely chased perfume dispensers. In addition, there was a wealth of salves and elixirs... Around all these fragrance-spreading substances, fixed rituals and noble objects emerged over time.
Since its very beginnings, DIPTYQUE has drawn inspiration from this history of perfume and is now inventing a new ceremonial, a new art form of perfuming:
The Perfume Gestures
Gestures that make the invisible palpable, the intangible tangible. In its exploration of the language of perfume, the house once again takes innovative sensory paths and expands its own palette with "Perfume Gestures," a combination of different intensities and surprising textures. L'Ombre dans l'Eau, Do Son, Philosykos, and Eau Rose are presented as balms, gels, oils, and foams, thus developing a fragrance strength that is equal to that of an Eau de Toilette and lasts for many hours.
The implementation of these sensory fragrances is extremely complex. No two are alike, because each has its own texture to be able to unfold individually. In the selection of ingredients and their dosage, DIPTYQUE's entire savoir-faire is used to achieve a perfect balance. Substance becomes scent, scent becomes substance. A unique experience for all senses, as simple in daily use as it is refined as a fragrance ritual, whose sensuality remains palpable throughout the day.
Each Perfume Gesture stages a new design that captivates with clear lines, matte and transparent surfaces, black and white contrasts. Inside the bottles, fine spirals, as if drawn with a feather, create reflections and depth. With the Perfume Gestures, DIPTYQUE creates an innovative product range for a new way of perfuming. In doing so, the house adds a new chapter to its history of wonderful fragrance objects. Small works of art that are a joy to behold, to have around, and also to give as gifts.
