Designing sustainable objects
Designing sustainable objects
Diptyque is committed to continuously improving our products so as to reduce their environmental impact.
Sustainable and reusable objects of the highest quality
We constantly review our creative processes, eco-designing our products to do better with less. More than simple containers, they are decorative objects, icons of an art of living that reflect our unique creative approach. We select only the finest quality reusable materials that are guaranteed to stand the test of time, such as glass and ceramics. And we will continue designing in line with this philosophy to ensure that these products become even more valuable in the eyes of those who own them and pass them on. This creative approach is fully in keeping with our commitment to the circular economy.
Our three priorities are to:
- Reduce the quantity of materials used to manufacture our products, including single-use cardboard and plastic boxes
- Replace virgin or non-recyclable materials with recycled or recyclable alternatives
- Give our creations multiple lives by extending our refillable ranges and encouraging the creative reuse of our objects
REFILLING AND REUSING OUR PRODUCTS
Since the Maison’s very beginnings, Diptyque’s creations have been designed to last – to be handed down from one generation to another. It is essential to us that our products live many lives.
We aim to gradually expand our range of refillable products and reduce their impact the more they are (re)used.
Our latest creation, Les Mondes de Diptyque, is our first range of refillable candles – decorative objects truly designed to stand the test of time. Each refill – available in the collection’s five scents – takes the form of a wax bar moulded in an ultra-lightweight, eco-designed plastic shell made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic**.
As soon as the first refill is purchased, the environmental impact of the candle is reduced by 46% over its entire life cycle***.
Our best-selling fragrances may also be refilled at selected boutiques.

Les Mondes de Diptyque (the Worlds of Diptyque)
Light a candle and feel the beauty of the world – that's the promise offered by Diptyque's first refillable candles.
Les Mondes de Diptyque is a saga in five chapters to transport you far away. A tale transformed into scents, for you to discover as if in a dream – telling of secret and miraculous places, of nature and culture working as one to captivate the senses.
Excluding limited-edition products and the Decoration collection.

*** Comparison of greenhouse gas emissions, expressed as CO2e,
between the purchase of two non-refilled Les Mondes de Diptyque candles
and one Les Mondes de Diptyque candle refilled once with the wax refill.
The assessment takes into account the environmental impact of the
packaging (candle jar and outer box) over its entire life cycle and the
nature of the materials, their origin, the manufacturing process and the
finishing of the components, their transport and the transport of the
finished product and its end of life.
Calculations based on the Life Cycle Assessment method for cosmetic
packaging and the SPICE Tool.
