Diptyque has introduced its new Les Essences de Diptyque collection, which is a range of perfumes developed with inspiration from natural materials. This includes coral, mother of pearl, and crystals -- these are scents that are nearly unrecognizable to the human nose.
There are five fragrances in total including "Corail Oscuro (which draws from Venice's marine life), Lunamaris (mother of pearl), Bois Corsé (the texture of tree bark), Lilyphéa (water lilies), and Rose Roche (desert rose, a type of crystal)." These are priced at $330, which is about $100 more than the brand's mainline fragrances. Additionally, the bottles are all redesigned as each one it etched with themed illustrations done by Irish artist Nigel Peake.
