Diptyque L’Eau Papier Eau De Toilette

A light and fresh white musk fragrance inspired by paper composed of notes of steamed rice, luminous mimosa, and a deep blonde wood accord that wears like a second skin. A tribute to paper and its power to unleash the imagination. As ink soaks into a sheet of white paper, shadows emerge. Worlds are invented. L’Eau Papier celebrates the power of the imagination – that moment, suspended in time, when ink, paper and the hand become one. An encounter made perfume, plunging us into the heart of musk and its multiple facets. Musk evolves, changes, expresses itself over time and from one skin to another, just as ink saturates paper, assuming its texture to conjure up dreams and images. In L’Eau Papier, white musks are delicately faceted by an accord of rice steam, evoking the grain of the paper. To these are added luminous notes of mimosa, while a backdrop of blonde wood tones grounds L’Eau Papier in the material itself.
Developed in collaboration with perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and artist Alix Waline. L’Eau Papier is a tribute to creation – the backbone of the Maison – and to paper, the primary means by which that creation is expressed. The name of this creation brings together water and paper, recalling both the history of the Maison and the founding trio’s driving passion for the line and the brush-stroke. It conjures up the diluted ink that permeates the page and calls forth shape – the act performed by every artist composing a drawing and giving free rein to their imagination. In this eau de toilette, the perfumer used Grasse mimosa, a variety that has been cultivated since 1865. Its downy yellow flowers bloom in February on the hills around the town of Grasse, offering a stunning sight scented with sunny, floral and honeyed notes. French artist Alix Waline has stayed true to her own style, fashioning a work in delicate black and white, deploying shades and textures in abundance, and elaborating the drawing dot by dot, layer by layer. In a complete contrast to traditional illustrations for Diptyque perfumes, there is no recognizable figure or scenery – rather, an impressionistic, abstract composition in black and white.
