Diptyque invites you to escape to the Dreamy Summer Garden, a serene countryside retreat where the art of summer living is elevated through exquisite creations, from perfumes and body care to colourful, fragrant treasures.
The garden, as both a peaceful sanctuary and an enduring muse, has long held a cherished place in the world of the French perfumer Diptyque. Since its founding, the brand has drawn from the beauty of nature and botanical artistry to enrich its creations. This year, Marie-Victoire de Bascher’s vivid, expressive brushstrokes bring to life a garden teeming with fruit, colour and vitality.
Her illustrations, full of fluidity and spontaneity, appear across the collection’s designs, capturing the essence of summer’s energy: bright, joyful and free. Nature is a multi-sensory journey, where delicate blooms, citrus notes and aromatic herbs intertwine, merging freshness with a quiet lyricism.
Fragrant imprint from the fairy garden
L’Eau des Hespérides Eau de Toilette, as the heart of the collection, is Diptyque’s a sparkling tribute to the zest of citrus fruits, mirrored from bottle to scent. Uplifting and playful, its composition dances with spicy undertones: an ideal companion for long, sun-drenched days.

Concluding the rituals is Vinaigre de Toilette. Inspired by ancestral practices, it lends itself to a variety of uses, from a capful in the bath to soften water; a few drops after a shower or shave to tone and soothe the skin; to a small glass diluted in boiling water to gently refresh and scent the home. It is a summertime ritual that is unmistakably Diptyque: elegant, thoughtful and full of quiet inspiration.
