Diptyque’s new range of premium scented candles brings the most beautiful locales from around the world into the sanctuary of your home. For La Vallée du Temps, the destination is the city of Jingdezhen in the Jiangxi province of China. Often called ‘The Porcelain Capital’ this city is renowned for both porcelain production and the white tea that grows in the surrounding area. 

The same white tea creates the hero notes of this scented candle, combined with hints of mate and jasmine.

In Saint Germain, a neighbourhood brimming with the artistic and cultural ebullience of 1960s Paris, a creative adventure was born. Three multitalented aesthetes — Yves Coueslant, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot and Desmond Knox-Leet — were united by their travel-fueled imaginations, their fascination with great civilisations and their shared appreciation of beauty. Together, driven by boundless curiosity and with the freedom to explore it, they founded Diptyque. Creator of perfumes for the self and the home, scented skincare products and decorative objects, Maison Diptyque tells stories that set the imagination free. Each creation is, in itself, a mini world, a fragrant journey with some familiar paths and others that nourish inspiration and cultivate wonder. Diptyque extends a poetic invitation to step inside this world of bounty. Here, letters dance. A simple sketch brings an entire landscape to life. Emerging from the interplay of fragrance and image, it is a place between reverie and reality, between the intimate and the universal. Here, the imagination, liberated, may roam.
