Since 2019, Diptyque’s Product Development and Marketing Director has dedicated herself to reviving the art of living within the brand. Inspiration without borders.
“It was Annick Guttal, who I worked with, who introduced me to Diptyque. I was twenty years old, he took me to a boutique on the boulevard Saint Germain, and I bought the Opopanax white candle. This house has never ceased to fascinate me.

After growing up in the world of perfumery, I arrived at Diptyque in 2006 when Christian Montadre-Gautro and Yves Queslan, the founders, along with Desmond Knox-Leath, who died in the 1990s, were in transition.
When I developed my first white candles (maki, coriander and wild fennel), Yves explained to me that their aromas should be close to those perceived in nature. This has always guided me. To me, candles are a herbarium of fantasy. And I enjoy it like a spoiled child. I like to light two candles at the same time. In spring I combine Geranium Rosa and Vetiver. The white candle is also a decorative object, a cup and a black and white label with oval dancing letters. This is a drawing that has not gone out of date sixty years after its creation.
Since 2019, I have dedicated myself to reviving the art of living within the brand. Diptyque was originally dedicated to the creation and production of upholstery fabrics and interior accessories. The candle was born later in three scents: tea, hawthorn and cinnamon. And this extension of activity has suppressed the rest. To build the trim kits, I started with the wax defining materials. This led to wax vases, wooden candle holders… For summer we were inspired by light and shadow. In autumn, the place for fire and smoke. And at the end of the year, we’ll explore a more spiritual dimension.”
