Diptyque’s New Fragrance is an Ode to the City of Light

In its latest ode to Paris, Diptyque released a range of fragrances inspired by the traditional chypre. For those that don’t know, a chypre is a lively scent that’s characterized by vibrant citrus notes and earthy, floral, and woody undertones — a perfect spring repose to start the year. The French scent maker launched the Eau de Parfum Eau Capitale, a unisex update to the formal fragrance that is influenced by the City of Lights and stands as “an ‘abstract,’ enigmatic fragrance,” according to a press release. Packaging for the fragrance follows an Art Nouveau theme, exemplified with intricate and graphic illustrations. A limited-edition collection of similarly scented candles accompany the launch of this new scent.

Hedi Slimane is Bringing Fragrances Back to Celine

A little over a year into his tenure at Celine, creative director Hedi Slimane is starting to make scents in his role. After 50 years of avoiding fragrances — the last was 1964 Vent Fou — the designer is introducing the Haute Parfumerie Collection, a range of 11 perfumes inspired by the traditional craft of French perfumery. According to a press release, the “Celine Perfume Collection draws its know-how from French high perfumery, in keeping with the tradition of the ‘couturier parfumeur.”

 

The unisex collection contains a range of day-to-night scents influenced by various places and lifestyle. Some scents are inspired by physical regions, like SAINT-GERMAIN-DES-PRÉS and EAU DE CALIFORNIE, while others are inspired by activities like NIGHTCLUBBING, BLACK TIE, and the intriguingly-titled REPTILE. In classic Slimane form, the bottles are minimal and branded simply yet strikingly.

 

The Celine Haute Parfumerie Collection will launch later this fall.
