2. DIPTYQUE Essences Insensees 2019, $225/100ml
For this year’s editionof Essences Insensées, diptyque’s long-time collaborator Fabrice Pellegrin turned to the Tiare Flower, which originates from the Polynesian island of Tahiti. There, this flower – a distant cousin of the gardenia – is worn just behind the ear by men and women alike, and in perfumery, it serves as the source for a natural ingredient known as ‘Tiare absolute’. It is quite different: green and lively, with a wholly ethereal freshness. As with each previous edition in the collection, diptyque drew on the archives of Waltersperger, one of the last master glassmakers in France to work traditionally by hand. Each article of glassware hand-crafted by artisans in the workshops of this centuries-old House is completely unique, and for the 2019 edition, diptyque chose a bottle embellished with radiating lines that evoke the midday sun.
Available at Diptyque Takashimaya S.C., escentials TANGS at Tang Plaza and Robinsons The Heeren.
