A new year, a new lemming from Diptyque. "Two singular rose scents in candles that can be lit together or separately. Individually, each candle releases its own singular scent. Together, they complement each other as the refreshing, delicate fragrance of one mingles with the luxurious, honeyed notes of the other." Damascena and Centifolia are available in 70g mini ($36) or 190g full size ($72), at Nordstrom.
Fans of Diptyque's Baies candle might be interested in their limited edition Black Friday version, which will be sold from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. It's $75 for 190g (that's $10 more than you'd pay for the clear glass version, and you can already buy a 300g version in solid black for $95, or the 5 wick, 1500g indoor/outdoor version, also in black, for $315).
Diptyque has introduced their Holiday 2018 candle collection, Légende du Nord, decorated by Pierre Marie…
From Diptyque, the 34 Bazar Candle: "The Elide is the evocation of the epic Fauna, an ancient figure that fascinated Desmond Knox-Leet, in this region of Greece where bitter orange peel essences, aromatic plants and wild lavender meet. His blackmat biscuit pot is adorned with a representation of Fauna." $85 for 220g at Neiman Marcus.
Well, it kind of makes you wonder, 'What do I know? What wisdom do I have?' So I started keeping a list of my wisdom. Part of it is, you have to be really careful about scented candles. There's really only two kinds worth having... Diptyque or Trudon.
