I’ve always loved the way fragrance has the magical ability to carry us places. It pulls at the memories intertwined with our senses, reminding us of a special day, person, feeling, or city. Diptyque’s newest perfume, Eau Capitale, does just that — it’s a vibrant, unique, and romantic bouquet that instantly brings you to a city unlike any other, Pairs.
Eau Capitale holds a particularly special place in the fragrant universe of Diptyque. It’s their first fragrance that pays tribute to Diptyque’s own city, as well as the first chypre in their collection. Like Paris on a summer day, the rich smell of roses mingles with the fresh and fruity scent of bergamot, and is warmed by patchouli and pink peppercorns. It’s a full aroma that, like the City of Lights, leaves a lasting impression. One of the things I love most about Diptyque is their passion for story telling, not only through fragrance, but also through the individualized India ink illustrations on each label. Designed by ornamentalist, Pierre Marie, Eau Capitale is detailed with a beautiful Art Nouveau iconography of Paris — a whimsical depiction where rose gardens and peacocks surround the Eiffel Tower.
In addition to fragrances for the body, Diptyque also makes a wonderful collection of scents for the home and I’ve fallen in love with quite a few of their candles. Figuier is a long-time favorite of mine and reminds me of our summer-time visits to St Rémy au Bois. And like Diptyque’s full fragrance collection, each candle is adorned with a beautiful illustration — you’ll want to keep the jar forever, and they make perfect make-up brush holders or tealight votives.
