A new symphony in fragrance
This year, Diptyque is enhancing the world of Orphéon with a variety of limited edition creations: a fine oak wood case housing a 75ml bottle of Orphéon Eau de Parfum. Inspired by drinks cabinets and designed for reuse, the case opens just like an authentic cocktail cabinet to reveal the bottle flanked by its mirrored doors. On the outside, it is decorated with a hand-carved panoramic illustration that captures the magic of Parisian nights and the warm ambiance of Orphéon. For the first time, the 75ml Eau de parfum is graced with a newlabel: a deep blue with silver highlights recalls a faceted column from The Orpheon, the only physical piece of the club left today. Orphéon is also now available in a new 30ml size ― the ideal way to discover this olfactory daydream or carry it with you at all times.
An ode to the origins of Diptyque
Orphéon, a jazz club emblematic of Parisian nights, was directly adjacent to the original Diptyque boutique founded in 1961. In this vibrant setting, the Maison’s founders ― Desmond Knox-Leet, Yves Coueslant and Christiane Gautrot ― would often sit down and savour the pleasure of setting the world to rights in the company of friends. A painter, a theatre director and an interior designer. Orphéon was a veritable intersection of effervescence ― a space well suited to encounters between intellectuals and bohemian souls, where ideas flowed freely and dreams came to life. These moments of sharing and complicity nurtured the creative spirit that shaped the very essence of the Maison, capturing the soul of a venue that witnessed the birth of ideas, of dreams, and of friendships built to last.
Orphéon ― the essence of vibrant Parisian nights in the 60s
Cedar, warm and reassuring, the juice recalls the burnished wood of the counters and tables that bore silent witness to countless discussions. Tonka bean envelops the air with its silky swirls, conjuring up lingering traces of light tobacco. Next we discern juniper berries, vivid and vivacious, recalling gin cocktails in a distant, muted echo of festive evenings. And finally, jasmine fills the air with delicate traces of the perfumes worn by the men and women who frequented Orphéon, capturing their timeless elegance. Each of these notes helps recreate the essence of a venue noted for its liberty and artistic effervescence, where strains of jazz and conversation mingled melodiously. Orphéon is more than a perfume ― it is an invitation to relive these moments suspended in time.
