Orphéon

Diptyque pays tribute to its heritage through an exclusive scenography dedicated to Orphéon, presented in both Paris and London. A sensory homage to the legendary 1950s Parisian jazz bar, where the Maison’s founders drew inspiration and creativity.

To enhance the essence of this fragrance, the atelier designs two installations where music and scent interact through a sculptural reinterpretation of the iconic brass instruments of jazz.

01

A unique customer experience

These sculptural objects compose a melody in three acts. One of the sculptures emits an original creation by composer Léo Copet, translating the fragrance's accords into musical notes. Another invites visitors to experience the woody and powdery scents of Orphéon, echoing the atmospheres, rhythms, and settings of the past. The final piece celebrates the flame, where the candle becomes the olfactory extension of this nocturnal evocation

Imaginary instruments

Each instrument takes on unique forms, reflecting a scenographic design fueled by imagination. This symphonic orchestra unfolds within the space.

Crafted by hand, the lines of trumpets and saxophones are reinvented to reflect the spontaneity and energy of a jazz band
