The Cave of Chiron

Limited Edition
Add to Wishlist

The Cave of Chiron marks a stop on Diptyque’s Grand Tour, an itinerary of destinations imagined for the maison’s sixtieth anniversary since its founding in 1961, for which artist Zoë Paul was invited to translate the myth of Chiron, the wise centaur of Mount Pelion, into a small curtain of perfumed ceramic beads fired using the traditional Japanese raku technique, part of a limited edition of fifteen numbered pieces.

Suspended from a nylon-covered steel cable and crowned in brass, the beads trace the shape of a hand, an ancient symbol of care, love and art fitting for a piece devoted to fragrance. Perfumer Olivier Pescheux composed a scent evoking a sun-warmed Greek seaside town, so that the object and its perfume together conjure a single sensory journey to the Aegean coast.
