In the spring of ‘68, three artist friends launched their first perfume called “L’Eau de Diptyque”. The firm is now celebrating the 50th anniversary of its first “eau de toilette” with two new creations. “Tempo” returns to the theme of patchouli, an icon in the ‘sixties, now refined with extreme precision and heady enchantment. Meanwhile “Fleur de Peau” calls upon musk, another ingredient equally symbolic of the era, in a discreet, powdery and slightly spicy perfume. Diptyque, 34 boulevard Saint Germain Paris 5 (01 43 26 77 44 - www.diptyqueparis.fr).
