Kyoto, a Woody Rose Incense

Diptyque Kyoto is a woody rose incense. Our version revives that feel, opening with a soft beetroot accord and green notes before a Turkish rose heart settles over vetiver, incense, and patchouli.

The Story Behind the Scent

Diptyque built Kyoto as a limited edition inspired by Japan, all earthy rose and green freshness over smoky incense and dry vetiver. The idea was a quiet, meditative warmth.

That woody refinement is its appeal. The beetroot accord and green notes give it an earthy freshness, the Turkish rose adds a soft floral heart, and the vetiver and incense give it a smoky, grounded base. Our interpretation revives that same meditative path for those who miss it.
