The universes of (RED) and Diptyque have come together, joining forces to turn a one-of-a-kind object into an international endeavor to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. Both luminous and creamy, Rooibos Vanilla is born of an encounter with vanillas contrasting personalities. Its facets dance like the flame in myriad lively reflections of Africa. Its distinctive character stands out in its bewitching, roasted, amber notes. Then come its herbal and tobacco accords, evoking this oh so particular land. Last but not least, the voluptuous, almost fleshy sweetness of its light, powdery notes top it all off.

United by a passion for creativity and design, three artisans became friends and partners. They opened a shop at 34 boulevard Saint-Germain to showcase their avant-garde fabric designs and decorative items from their travels. The trio offered colored candles to match their fabrics, adding perfumed wax. Customers fell in love with the inimitable fragrances. Word traveled. Their cachet grew. In 1963, they introduced the first Diptyque scented candle. In 1968, the first line of Diptyque fragrances was launched. Today, the three Parisian artists are world-renowned purveyors of fragrance and scented candles.
