Pick: Diptyque

United by a passion for creativity and design, three artisans became friends and partners. They open a shop at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain to showcase their avant-garde fabric designs and decorative items from their travels.

.

 Founded in 1961 by three friends (painter Desmond Knox-Leet, set designer Yves Coueslant, and Christiane Gautrot, who was working in an architecture firm), Diptyque originally produced printed fabrics, but in 1963 they introduced a line of scented candles which eventually became the main focus of their business. There are now over 50 scented candles in the product line.
.
In 1968 Diptyque produced their first perfume, L'Eau, which was later followed by a series of other scented waters, which are also available as home products such as soap. The name Diptyque (from Ancient Greek δίπτυχος / díptykhos) refers to a painting or sculpture composed of two panels or parts.
.
Currently Diptyque has six stores, in Paris, London, New York, Doha, Dubai and San Francisco. Diptyque's Boston location closed in 2008. In 2005 this privately held niche perfume house was bought by London based Manzanita Capital.
