In celebration of Eid, Diptyque unveils The Intense Collection—an opulent trio of fragrances inspired by the mystique and warmth of the Middle East. Steeped in rich olfactory traditions, this collection pays homage to the founders’ memories of their Eastern travels, now brought to Malaysia to mark the festive season. Each fragrance is a journey in itself, capturing the contrast of spice and softness, warmth and freshness, in three distinct compositions.
Eau Rihla
True to its name—’Rihla’ meaning ‘travel’ in Arabic—Eau Rihla is an evocative voyage through the Middle Eastern landscape. A dynamic interplay of spicy pink peppercorn and Atlas cedar mirrors the untamed desert roads, while soft iris, vanilla, and saffron bring a sensual warmth. The fragrance evolves with wear, much like the shifting sands, unveiling layers of leather and wood. Available not just as an eau de parfum, but also as a hair mist and body balm, Eau Rihla envelops the wearer in a captivating aura of adventure.
Eau Nabati
Eau Nabati conjures the serenity of a secluded garden hidden within vast dunes—an oasis untouched by time. Fresh bergamot and petitgrain open the fragrance with a burst of citrus, leading into the amber embrace of immortelle flowers and Peru balsam. It is a composition of striking contrasts, where crisp and sunlit top notes give way to the warmth of the desert breeze, harmonising elements that might otherwise seem opposing. This is a fragrance of serenity, a moment of pause amid a vibrant celebration.
Benjoin Bohême
A portrait of bohemian refinement, Benjoin Bohême is a sophisticated blend of amber Laotian benzoin, Peru balsam, rockrose, and patchouli. It is a scent steeped in artistry—imagine the quiet confidence of a British dandy or the effortless flair of a Latin bohemian. At once enigmatic and comforting, it pays tribute to the artistic and intellectual spirit of Diptyque’s birthplace at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain.
