A few years ago, diptyque\u00a0was inspired by the creative fervour and passion of three young people with a passion for their craft, the restoration of wallpapers and wall decorations to join forces in order to breathe new life into domino paper, to collaborate on a Valentine\u2019s Day Collection. The challenge: to illustrate a fragrance, the Rosa Mundi rose, and transpose it in some way to paper. This led to the creation of this collection, both olfactory and visual, a limited edition designed according to pure diptyque tradition: an art of living that combines interior decoration, fragrances and objects within a refined universe.<\/p>\n

In order to revive this craft, which reached its peak in the 18th century and disappeared during the first half of the following century, the three friends chose a name: \u00c0 Paris chez Antoinette Poisson, inspired by a patron of the arts, the Marquise de Pompadour, born Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson. Domino paper \u2013 used to cover books, boxes and walls, block-printed and coloured by stencil or by hand \u2013 favours two types of decoration: figurative motifs and geometric patterns. These two styles are charmingly combined in the creation of two exclusive designs by Antoinette Poisson for diptyque: a fresh, floral, luminous evocation based on the rose and a simple, vibrant graphic design.<\/p>\n

Once the motifs have been created, adorned with roses and an imaginary foliage that blossoms on a soft, delicate green background, they are handprinted on pure chiffon laid paper in 330 x 420 mm format and outlined, as tradition dictates, with a band indicating the brand name and model number. When framed, they serve as paintings; or, joined together, they can paper part of a wall or an entire room.<\/p>\n

\"DiptyqueTwo formats of Rosa Mundi candles are adorned with this floral motif whose main colours, green and pink, express the subtle duality of this fragrance that is both romantic and invigorating. The two most beautiful roses in perfumery, the Damask rose, the rose of Damascus, and the Centifolia, or Provence \u201cMay Rose\u201d rose, are celebrated in the multiplicity and richness of their aromas.<\/p>\n

\"DiptyqueIn the top note, blackcurrant and bergamot bring them freshness, fruity lychee enhances their petals, while geranium intensifies their naturalness… a thicket of roses blossoms before us. To decorate glasses, paper again takes centre stage. It is a paper with very long fibres, crafted especially for the purpose, which, when the candle burns, is illuminated by the light of the flame. To complete the collection, a perfumed disc of wax and porcelain, prettily protected by a box-drawer with two motifs, will fragrance and decorate a wardrobe.<\/p>\n

\"DiptyqueSimilar to diptyque\u2019s emblematic Vinaigre de Toilette, it can be worn as a perfume, sprayed into the air, or used to fragrance fabrics. Its fragrance has the natural grace of the rose, the spiciness of the garden, and a light, almost undetectable trace of patchouli. Because the latter has the strange ability to fix fragrances to textiles, giving them hold and endurance.<\/p>\n
