Diptyque has collaborated with perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and artist Alix Waline to create L'Eau Papier, a fragrance that honours paper as the primary means of artistic expression. It pays tribute to Diptyque's history and nature, recalling the brand's founding trio's passion for the line and the brushstroke, bringing together water and paper to remind us of artists freely creating drawings with their imagination. A delicate and sensual composition, the fragrance combines the scent of roasted sesame seeds, floral mimosa notes, and musky accords to create a delicate, powdery, and sensual aroma reminiscent of ink on paper.

$880 (50ml), $1,220 (100ml); available now at Diptyque boutiques and diptyqueparis.com
