Since 1961, Diptyque has been a pioneer in the exploration of new olfactory rituals. Today, the Maison adds fresh enchantment to everyday life with Le Culbuto: a traditional object for play, reinterpreted as a home fragrance diffuser.
This original creation nods to the developmental toy we recall so fondly from childhood. It combines beauty and utility, conjuring up the spirit of play in a single gesture. Le Culbuto, ingenious and striking in its design, releases its fragrance with the merest touch of the hand.
At once timeless and contemporary, this decorative item needs no button, no mechanism of any kind to set its magic in motion. Diverted from its original use as a toy, it is irresistibly alluring with sleek lines and elegant simplicity. Ideal for placing on a desk or mantelpiece, this object comes in the form of a sphere carved in solid beechwood, pleasingly smooth to the touch, with a pre-perfumed ceramic stick fixed to the top. The slightest fingertip push sets off a graceful rocking action that amplifies the diffusion of notes of Baies (Berries), augmenting the synesthetic blend of the visual and the tactile with the propagation of scents. A symbol of escape, summoning images that hover at the frontiers of memory and dream.
Once in motion, the object oscillates, never faltering. Finally, in its own time, it cleverly returns to the upright position – an invitation to play the game again, as often as you please.
Le Culbuto was conceived as an enduring object. It is refillable and designed to last several lifetimes, allowing you to extend the perfumed interlude into infinity.
