Scented Sheets
Diptyque has developed a new fragrance in collaboration with perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and artist Alix Waline. Infused with white musk and mimosa, L’Eau Papier is a tribute to creation – the backbone of the Parisian maison – and to paper, the primary means by which that creativity is expressed.
