Still haven’t found anything to lemm from the Diptyque holiday collection? Here’s another opportunity…Do Son, in a limited edition bottle done up in gold. $188 for 75 ml Eau de Parfum at Neiman Marcus, where you’ll also find a spiffy gold compact for Eau Capitale…
Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2021 is out. We start with “…a trio of limited edition scented candles with gold-coloured lids, decorations in actual gold paint and colours that call to mind malachite, lapis lazuli and cornelian. Each of the three scents is a unique interpretation of a winter classic, and hence the ideal accompaniment for the holiday season: Flocon, an olfactory transcription of snowfall, with light, velvety notes of white musks blended with those of mimosa, a winter flower; Biscuit, with the spicy flavours of festive end-of-year desserts enhanced by the density of patchouli; and Sapin [see close up below], the fragrant freshness of mountain pines intensified by the woody notes of an open fire.” The 190g candle with gold lid is $78; the 70g votive is $42 (or a boxed set of 3 is $126)…
A spot for the Grand Tour collection from Diptyque (see Kyoto, Venise and Paris, plus there are home fragrances items for Miliès and Byblos).
Were you wishing Diptyque made (luxury) pajamas with a fig leaf pattern? Well, lo and behold, your wishes have come true: "Designed by artist Pierre Marie, the fig pattern is inspired by iconic diptyque fragrance Philosykos. Hand-made in a Portuguese studio specializing in the highest quality ready-to-wear garments. The fabric is in cotton poplin, known for its delicate touch and perfect fit. Comes with a woven, fabric pouch for storage. To wear day and night, as pajamas or mixed with jeans or a tee-shirt." $325. Hat tip to Kevin!
From Diptyque's upcoming Grand Tour collection, the Paris candle. "The fragrance, developed by Olivia Giacobetti, evokes that of a stroll along the quays of the Seine – the weeping willows lining its banks, the polished wood scents of the antique stores along with those of the Parisian cobblestones and of the pages of antiquarian books. Inspired by an old display stand for diptyque candles, the sculpted black wood lid is a nod to the history of the Maison, concluding this initial olfactory, cultural and historic stopover."
