Diptyque Singapore has opened its first store, a 423sqft (39sqm) space at Ngee Ann City.
Previously, the French firm’s scented candles, perfumes, and face and bodycare range were available online or through smaller retailers and stores like Escentials and Tangs.
It is only the second Diptyque boutique in Southeast Asia, the first being in Kuala Lumpur. It features brass furnishings and forest-green Indian marble, while its walls are bottle green. This echoes Singapore’s status as a garden city, as every Diptyque store is designed with the locality in mind.
As the opening in Singapore coincides with the 50th anniversary of the brand’s first fragrance, L’Eau, two new scents have been released, Fleur de Peau and Tempo, both developed by perfumer Olivier Pescheux.
A feature of the store is a gift-wrapping service.
