Founded in 1961 by Desmond Knox-Leet, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, and Yves Coueslant, Diptyque is a house born from the intersection of art, design, and fragrance. For over 60 years, it has celebrated imagination, visual poetry, and craftsmanship through artistic collaborations that remain true to its aesthetic spirit.
For Valentine’s Day, Diptyque reinvents its iconic Roses candle in a limited edition, illustrated by Constantin Riant, a French artist and ceramist whose work explores symbolism, purity of line, and the strength of gesture. Best known for his ceramic creations, Riant brings his graphic sensitivity and taste for balanced, poetic compositions to this candle illustration.
Hearts as budding flowers, swallows in flight, and a bright red banner compose a delicate graphic declaration, faithful to the artist’s style: clear lines, deep colors, and a visual language full of emotion. Each element interacts with the emblematic Roses fragrance, blending visual and olfactory sensations to create a refined and complete sensory experience.
This limited edition perfectly embodies the essence of Diptyque: uniting art, the gesture of fragrance, and emotion in an object that is both poetic and precious.
