The Full World of Diptyque, From Perfume to Body Care

Diptyque began with scented objects and grew into a full house of fragrance. Alongside the candles, the line runs deep: eau de toilette and eau de parfum in the Diptyque perfume collection, reed diffusers and sprays in Diptyque room fragrance, plus hand wash, body lotion, and hair mist. If you already know you want wax, go straight to the Diptyque candles.

This page is the place to start when you are buying for someone whose Diptyque taste you do not know yet, or when you want to move between categories in one trip: a candle for the living room, a hand wash for the kitchen, a travel spray for a gift. Shoppers who already know the scent they want tend to skip straight to a category. Everyone else starts here.

We have been an authorized Diptyque retailer since 2003, working from our West Hollywood boutique with the full catalog in stock and on the floor. That means real stock, current-season releases, and a team that has smelled every one of these in person. Diptyque restocks and limited editions move through here first.

FAQ

Buying Diptyque: What to Know Before You Shop

What does Diptyque make?

Diptyque makes a full range of home and personal fragrance. The house produces scented candles, eau de toilette and eau de parfum, solid and liquid body care, hair mist, reed diffusers, room sprays, and seasonal limited editions. Everything is composed in France. At Candle Delirium we carry the catalog across every one of these categories.

Does Diptyque ever go on sale?

Diptyque rarely discounts. The house maintains fixed pricing for most of the year, and authorized retailers follow it. The exceptions are occasional promotional windows and the period around Black Friday, when select pieces may be reduced. We notify our newsletter list before these windows open so subscribers see limited editions and any reductions first.

What is Diptyque known for?

Diptyque is known for turning fragrance into an art object. Founded in 1961 by three friends with backgrounds in painting, interior design, and theatre, the house built its reputation on the oval label, the hand-poured candle, and scents that read like compositions rather than products. Baies, its blackcurrant and rose scent, became one of the most recognized luxury fragrances in the world. After more than twenty years selling the full line from our West Hollywood floor, what we tell people is that Diptyque is less a candle brand than a fragrance house that happened to start near wax.

How does Diptyque compare to other luxury fragrance houses?

Among the luxury houses we carry, Diptyque sits in a particular place. Versus Trudon, which is older and more classically French in its candle work, Diptyque feels more modern and more wearable across categories, since it does perfume and body care as seriously as wax. Versus Nest, Diptyque is less accessible in price and more singular in its scents. Versus a fine-fragrance-first house, Diptyque is unusual in that its candles are as collected as its perfumes. We carry more than fifty brands, and Diptyque is one of a small number customers ask for by name before they have chosen a category.
