The evocation of the dry forests of Indochina and the velvety and milky perfume of burnt sandalwood in the temples. Yves Coueslant, one of the founders of diptych, recreates this scent marked by his childhood and illustrated by the sandalwood of Mysore, cooled by the vibrant cypress and myrtle.
The brand was founded in 1961 by three singular personalities united by a strong aesthetic alchemy: Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet. Fed with a common passion for drawing, they start creating motifs for fabrics and wallpapers, and decide to open their first shop with two entrances (like a diptych) in Paris, Boulevard Saint Germain.
