DE CHAPPER Competitors

The diptyque story began in Paris at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain with, at its heart, three friends driven by the same creative passion. Christiane Gautrot was an interior designer, Desmond Knox-Leet, a painter, and Yves Coueslant, a theater director and set designer. The first two collaborated designing fabrics and wallpaper for Liberty and Sanderson. They were joined by the third in 1961 and opened a shop to display their designs. Yves became the administrator and consultant; Desmond and Christiane were the artistic soul. Bit by bit, with finely honed taste, the trio transformed the site into a one-of-a-kind setting, a kind of stylish bazaar where one found surprising articles unmatched in Paris, mined and conveyed home by the trio over the course of their travels.

We believe that there are too many bottles of perfume and not enough soulful fragrances We believe the soul of a fragrance comes from the intention with which it is created and the attention with which it is prepared We believe fine perfumery must create a shock - the shock of the new, combined with the shock of the intimately familiar We believe that fine perfumery must be irreverent We believe it is more humane to test cosmetics on New Yorkers than on animals We believe celebrities should pay full price We believe the future of luxury (hence of perfumery) lies in craftsmanship We believe in the soulful power of thoughtful hands: hand-picked roses, hand-poured candles, hand-formulated perfumes and handshake agreements We believe in the passionate souls who work close to us We believe in Hafiz's take on life : "Act great, dear. Always act great” We believe New York made us this way, with a dose of Wabi-Sabi and a few lines from Thoreau We believe we/you should put away our modern tools and take the time to smell the roses along the way We believe that we are only young once, but we can be immature forever And we believe that explanation kills art. Therefore, forget about all of this !
