Diptyque

Made in Paris, France, since 1961

Started in 1961 by three friends, Christiane Gautrot, Desmond Knox-Leet and Yves Coueslant, as a shop at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain. Its scent '34 boulevard Saint Germain' is named after, and meant to smell like, that first shop.

Partly checked 29 Sept 2026. Shop address and hours (Mon to Sat 10:00 to 19:00) confirmed on the official store locator on 29 Sep 2026. The 1961 founding and the three founders' names come from Diptyque's own help-centre article, but that page blocked automated reading and was seen only through a search summary; a human should open it to confirm.
