Qatar Airways is changing its amenity kit, with them working with Diptyque for the new amenity kits.
These will be initially available for First and Business Class passengers on routes across the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, in addition to A380 flights to London and Paris.
The new amenity range consists of Diptyque branded bags as well as gift boxes featuring Diptyque’s signature oval branding, with versions customised for male and female passengers.

Each Qatar Airways amenity kit and gift box provides specially selected Diptyque products including:
- Nourishing Lip Balm – enriched with roses and violets to soothe and soften the lips
- Fresh Lotion for the Body – infused with the scent of orange blossoms, to refresh sleepy skin for all skin types
- Essential Face Cream – nourishing and replenishing, with prickly pear extract to boost radiance
- Diptyque fragrance – ‘Eau Rose’ Eau de Toilette – an infusion of the finest damascena and centifolia roses, or the brand’s signature ‘34 Boulevard Saint Germain’ Eau de Toilette with notes of amber, patchouli, cinnamon and rose.

The Diptyque bags are made from vegan leather while the eyeshade and socks are made from RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate plastic).

Expanding a partnership
Qatar Airways first entered its partnership with Diptyque in March 2021, where it offered its washroom products onboard and in its Premium lounges at Hamad International Airport.
The range consists of Essential Face Cream, Infused Facial Water, Velvet Hand Lotion, hand wash, shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, Fresh Body Lotion and Hand Wash Gel Rinse-Free.
The collaboration between Qatar Airways and Diptyque is being facilitated by FORMIA.
For passengers who love the collectable bags, it’s something new to look forward to in the air. Although with kits like these, I would love to see the reusability factor of these in the longer term – for those who wish to use their kits beyond eBay or wish to upcycle them for other purposes.

It’s interesting that Qatar Airways are only now announcing this.
These Diptyque amenity kits – both bags and gift-boxes – have been in place for a while. Not sure how long,… I took four Qatar Airways flights in January and were given these on all four flights, with the gift-box on two A380 flights to & from London and the bag on the other two.
The socks are really high quality, perfect for overnight flights – they’re snug and stay on your feet for the duration of the flight.
Hmm. Odd timing indeed. They’re normally very forthcoming with everything like that.
I guess a little case elsewhere in the system might be occupying minds, rather than on product for once….
