Orphéon, a smoky portrait of a blooming creative friendship in a bygone Parisian bar.
Paris in the early 1960s. The Saint-Germain quarter is alive with the rhythm of all-night jazz clubs and spontaneous artistic encounters. Within this atmosphere stood Orphéon, a beloved bar alive with the effervescence of creative possibility. Here, the three founders of the nearby Diptyque boutique gathered to dance, laugh, and converse in an atmosphere as vibrant as it was elegant.
A tribute to creative friendships and an olfactory time capsule, Orphéon immortalises the spirit of a place lost to time. At the heart of the composition is the atmosphere of that unforgettable place, recognisable through the warmth of the tonka bean, the depth of cedar and the vibrancy of juniper berries, where curls of tobacco smoke mingle with powdery traces of vintage cosmetics, lingering on burnished wood.
