Eau Rihla - Eau de parfum

Under the desert sun, the sand dunes give way to the ruins of ancient cities. Two travellers advance along the path, the pages of their leather notebooks filling up with sketches before nightfall... Diptyque’s history is charged with memories such as this one. Since the origins of the Maison, the Middle East and its imagery have nourished its creations. From the beginning of the 1960s, Diptyque’s founders crisscrossed the routes of the region, roaming its landscapes.

Eau Rihla evokes these travels, which have inspired a perfume conceived as the chronicle of a long journey, where leather, in all its splendour, changes throughout its composition. At first, the spicy liveliness of pink peppercorn and the woody notes of Atlas cedar create a vibrant accord. Then, as iris, vanilla and saffron come into play, the fragrance warms up, softens, and takes on the comfort of a second skin.

Rihla means “journey” in Arabic. A journey whose olfactory imprint instantly reawakens the memory of other inspiring and captivating horizons.

A leather note was specially developed for Diptyque to enhance the composition of Eau Rihla. This natural ingredient with a leathery scent was obtained from Chinese cedar wood. It is a “vegetal” leather with an evocative fragrance.
