On the smallest of the « îles de la lune”, Mohéli, grows the sweetest of the flowers, ylang-ylang. This exotic yellow blossom is grown on this spicy land that is a blend of Africa and India. On Mohéli, the atmosphere is painted by time and light to resemble the ends of the earth, reminiscent with wild, untamed exoticism. In the heart of this tropical paradise in the Indian Ocean, blooms ylang-ylang.

Eau Mohéli presents ylang-ylang to the senses in an accord that leaves the beaten track for wilder paths. It approaches the exotic perfume typically associated with this flower with another point of view, capturing the memory of the journey from its remote island home in the India Ocean. It is secretly expressed, like a flower nestled into its foliage amidst lush vegetation, enhanced by fresh, peppery spices, like pink peppercorn, and woods and balms seemingly warmed by the sun-patchouli, vetiver, benzoin, and tonka bean.

Ever seeking the finest raw materials, diptyque is delighted to be a partner in Givaudan’s sustainable development project of the last several years on the island of Mohéli, ensuring that this flower from the ends of the earth never fades. By helping develop ylang-ylang nurseries, and planting fast-growing trees to avoid deforestation caused by the use of wood-burning fires to heat the stills, diptyque contributes to the sustainable supply and outstanding quality of this tropical blossom.
