Diptyque

Diptyque, now known mostly as a purveyor of sought-after scented candles, was originally founded by three friends as a bazaar-like space selling textiles, toiletries and souvenirs from afar. It was only in 1968 that Diptyque branched into perfume, with a unisex eau de toilette called “l’Eau.” Although based on a Renaissance recipe, Eau fit the free spirit of the emerging hippie generation and was an instant hit.
