Diptyque Dropped Its First-Ever Body Collection—Every Item Is More Chic Than the Next
It's a modern take on ancient Greco-Roman bathing customs.
I have big news. Diptyque, the French fragrance house that's renowned for its highly coveted candles and pretty perfumes, recently dropped its first-ever bodycare collection. It marks a major milestone in the brand's 65-year history. While it already offered a few luxurious lotions and hotel-worthy hand washes, this is the first time it's launched a complete collection. Well, two, to be exact.
Diptyque's Rituels de Soins bodycare collection features a lineup of luxurious products designed for morning and evening use. It rests on ancient Greco-Roman bathing traditions and is formulated with natural ingredients and indulgent scents. With both an A.M. and P.M. routine, it supports the natural circadian rhythm while encouraging slow, sensorial self-care. If that sounds like your thing, keep scrolling to see all the products and get every last detail.
Diptyque's Rituel de Soin Bath & Body Collection, Overview
The collection features two distinct routines—Le Matin (French for "morning") and Le Soir (French for "evening"). The former is a lineup of energizing products to awaken your senses. The latter is a lineup of soothing products to unwind the mind and body and prepare for deep, restorative rest. There are also a few additional bodycare accessories to enhance both routines.
The A.M. Routine—Le Matin
The Le Matin Classic Candle is fresh, invigorating, and herbaceous. Light it first thing in the morning to set the tone for the A.M. routine. With notes of fresh, crushed mint leaves and spicy ginger, it's specifically designed to "awaken the senses." As such, it depicts an ancient bathing scene at sunrise.
Once the candle is lit, hop in the shower and scoop out a generous amount of this Invigorating Body Scrub. It's formulated with salt crystals and hazelnut shells to energize and awaken the skin, while brightening dullness and smoothing texture. A fragrance of juniper berries, cardamom leaves, and rosemary is just a bonus.
Next, reach for the Nurturing Cleansing Gel, the high-end version of a two-in-one body wash and shampoo. (Yes, really). It's composed of 98% natural ingredients and is enriched with sweet almond, so it promises a creamy lather, a moisturizing effect, and a sparkling scent made up of bergamot, green mandarin, and neroli. It smells like walking through an ancient Italian garden at dawn.
Once you're out of the shower, moisturize with this luxurious body lotion. The milky texture is lightweight and hydrating—not heavy or sticky. Thanks to its hero ingredient, flaxseed oil, it "envelops the body in a veil of lightness and freshness."
Then, the brand recommends applying a few drops of this hair and body oil to seal in moisture and boost shine. It's a dry oil, meaning it's lightweight and fast-absorbing, so you don't have to worry about it weighing your hair down or leaving a greasy residue that prevents you from pulling your jeans on. It even doubles as a hair and skin perfume; a delicate blend of jasmine and vanilla creates the most alluring aura.
The P.M. Routine—Le Soir
Repeat after me: self-care is a necessity, not a luxury. However, if you use the right products, it can be both. Enter Diptyque's Le Soir Ritual. The first step, as expected, is lighting a candle. In this case, it's one with a relaxing, "round" scent of soft chamomile, herbaceous sage, and warm cedar. The reusable glass jar is adorned with an illustration of an ancient bathing scene at nightfall.
