Originally located on Boulevard St-Germain in Paris, Diptyque Paris was founded by Christiane Montadre-Gautrot, Yves Coueslant and Desmond Knox-Leet. Their friendship was initially built on their shared passion for creativity.
Opening in Paris, with the plan to follow their intuition and their hearts in this business venture, allowed their boutique to flourish into the sumptuous brand that it is today.
