Going on a journey to discover new locations, increasing horizons, seeing the world with awe and observing things differently.  This was always part of what made up its legacy and it continues to be part of its core identity now in its 60th year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">With its birthday this year, the brand has decided to recreate the idea of a Grand Tour: A journey that marks the passage of time and the coming of age. The Maison is currently celebrating its anniversary with a variety of one-of-a-kind projects, such as limited editions items, new release collaborations with renowned artists, contemporary art exhibits, and international pop-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Starting with the Grand Tour which originally was a traditional trip through Europe undertaken by young upper-class European men of sufficient means and rank (typically accompanied by a chaperone, such as a family member) when coming of age in the 17th and 18th centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The primary benefit of the Grand Tour would be to be exposed to the cultural legacies of classical antiquity and the Renaissance, as well as the aristocratic and fashionably polite Culture of the European continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, it provided the only opportunity to view specific works of art, and possibly the only chance to hear certain music genres.<em> <\/em>This latter-day Grand Tour offers new horizons by re-engaging with the tradition of the tour whose name it borrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The Grand Tour travels via divine scents and fragrances, engaging all of our senses. So in celebration of this history, this limited edition collection revisits and highlights five important places that have provided inspiration to the Maison over ist 60 years of life: <strong>Paris<\/strong>, <strong>Venice<\/strong>, <strong>Milies<\/strong>, <strong>Kyoto<\/strong>, and <strong>Byblos<\/strong>, cities either they dreamed about or visited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-4.jpg?resize=580%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-4.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-4.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Paris scented candle (190mg) Image <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chantelking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chantel King<\/a>.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Starting as mentioned at kilometre zero is Paris, is the candle. Find on it the rose compass that adorns the oval label with the item designed as a homage to France&#8217;s capital city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The colour, fragrance, and design are all reminiscent of Paris. The verdigris colour is recollective of the bookstalls at St. Germain-des-Pr\u00e9s. Perfumer Olivia Giacobetti&#8217;s fragrance conjures a stroll down the Seine&#8217;s quays,  the weeping willows bordering its banks, the elaborate wood smells of antique stores, as well as those of Parisian cobblestones and the pages of ancient books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The carved black wood lid, inspired by an antique display stand for diptyque candles, is a homage to the Maison&#8217;s heritage, bringing this opening olfactory, cultural, and memorable stay to the start of the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Destination number two on the Diptyque Grand Tour is Venice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The vegetable gardens of the Serenissima lagoon, the Mediterranean air, and herbal fragrances in the early morning freshness, the aroma of soil combining with that of bell peppers, tomatoes, and citrus fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">An island of vegetable fields near Venice with fresh basil and green peppers mixed.

Immortelle&#8217;s spicy aroma mingles with the chilly Mediterranean breeze before warming up close to sun-drenched fig trees. The warm-cool m\u00e9lange of spicy and woody fragrant elements in this arrangement depicts the contrasts and richness of this voyage to the heart of Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diptyqueparis.com\/fstrz\/r\/s\/d1wwvmedxjfrrp.cloudfront.net\/wysiwyg\/grand_tour\/images\/visual-3.gif?w=580&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Millies Scented Oval<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">A location never visited but much fantasized about by the three founders, lies ten thousand kilometres to the East.

This olfactory combination was inspired by the three iconic pillars of art: the rose represents man, the beetroot-vetiver pair represents the earth, and incense represents heaven. A woody floral design with the delicate beauty of the ikebana rose and branch arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The bottle is furoshiki-wrapped in a cloth with a pattern of the Sarayi flower design designed by the creators and is the bottle is constructed of tinted glass in a similar rose-purple colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-3-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-3-1.jpg?resize=580%2C870&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-3-1.jpg?w=682&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/diptyque-3-1.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Kyoto Eau de Toilette (100ml) <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Image <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chantelking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chantel King<\/a>.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">We finish this journey by approaching the historic seaside city of Byblos, the world&#8217;s oldest harbour and one of the destinations on  Yves and Desmond&#8217;s (two of the owners)  path to the Orient in the 1960s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The aromas of cardamom coffee offered in Ottoman souks, recreated for the occasion by Fabrice Pellegrin, are reminiscent of the harbour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">The old Phoenician harbour, not far distant from <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Byblos, formerly unloaded loads of spices and valuable timber. An encompassing harmony of roasted coffee is emphasized by the vibrancy of fresh cardamom and Atlas cedar at the core of the composition. A series of emotions and aromatic perceptions that depict the ambience of a city with its intriguing historical and cultural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diptyqueparis.com\/fstrz\/r\/s\/c\/d1wwvmedxjfrrp.cloudfront.net\/catalog\/product\/cache\/8bbdf3786ba894b0c651f21d67cb017c\/b\/y\/byblos-bougie-face.jpg.webp?w=580&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Byblos Scented candle 300g\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Byblos Scented Candle (300g)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">This 300g candle is housed in a vase adorned with grey and sandy-coloured wisps, evoking the haze from this ancient beverage. The ceramic mixed-clay method is used to create each vessel, making each one unique. It includes a relief representation of this Levantine port of call, including a harbour scene and the alleys of the town market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">Despite their many cultures and tastes, the artists on this Grand Tour have a common curiosity about other people and their environment. Their techniques and practices differ, as do the places to which they have been invited to celebrate. What are their impressions of these locations? The response takes the shape of five artistic suggestions for these five fragrances, each inspired by a different place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jo\u00ebl Andrianomearisoa<\/strong> picked Paris as the city closest to his heart because of the feelings it evokes: <em>\u201cParis is a driving force, not just in France but also globally. It is in permanent dialogue with the rest of the world. If you love Paris, it\u2019s because you love the countryside, architecture and culture all in one.

In mythology, Milies is the home of the centaur Chiron, a healer and practitioner of herbal medicine. Following the road to the village, quite by chance, I came upon Chiron\u2019s cave.
