To mark its sixtieth anniversary, Diptyque has chosen to pay homage to the legendary encounter with Orphéon, a late-night bar at the intersection of 34 boulevard Saint-Germain and the Rue de Pontoise. The bar’s entrance was adjacent to the original Diptyque boutique, and a few years later the Maison has extended into its space. Today, the only remaining vestige from the Orphéon is the blue faceted column at the back of the Diptyque boutique at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain.

Orphéon Eau de Parfum is the olfactory portrait of the place where curls of tobacco smoke mingle with powdery trails of blusher, lingering on burnished wood. At the heart of the composition is the atmosphere of that unforgettable place, recognisable through the warmth of the tonka bean, the depth of cedar and the vivacity of juniper berries.
