Diptyque

Diptyque, a French perfume house founded in 1961 by artists Yves Coueslant, Desmond Knox-Leet, and Christiane Gautrot, initially offered home furnishings and printed fabrics. Located on Boulevard St. Germain in Paris, the salon soon expanded its offerings to include imported English scents and, in 1963, added scented candles, becoming a key product. In 2005, Diptyque was acquired by Manzanita Capital, a London-based private equity fund.
