Diptyque Candles Are the Luxury Item You Need on Your Christmas List
A familiar chill is in the air, signaling that it’s time to break out cozy home decor. Whether you spruce up your space with twinkle lights or chunky knit blankets, candles are the one constant everyone needs. So why not splurge? Luckily, luxury brand Diptyque debuted their limited-edition holiday candles. We listed all about them below so you know which scents to add to your wishlist this season.
Diptyque dropped an adorable set with their Baies candle, arguably their most iconic scent. You might have seen the beloved Carrie Bradshaw light this candle in a SATC episode once upon a time. If it’s good enough for Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment, it’s enough for us. Floral notes of rose blend with blackcurrant berries to deliver an earthy yet sweet aroma. The seasonal Baies Candle & Carousel Set is the cult-favorite scent with a carousel attachment that projects dancing shadow effects when lit. It retails for $128 and is perfect for you or a chic friend.
An exclusive holiday scent, the Biscuit Scented Candle is decorated with specks of red and real gold. According to reviews, it smells like you’re “sitting inside a French bakery.” Diptyque’s first perfume house was in Paris, so this is a scent they’ve mastered. With spicy notes enhanced by patchouli, this candle is perfect for the kitchen. Baking is overrated anyway. The full-sized candle is $78 and burns up to 60 hours, or if you want to gift it, you can get a smaller size for only $42.
If you’re more into outdoorsy scents, the Sapin candle is a woodsy winter aroma that smells of pine and bonfire. Green and gold cover the glass, and, like the Biscuit candle, it comes in two sizes. The Flocon candle is also a good pick. A crossover between warm and floral, the snowflake candle has a mix of white musk and mimosa.
We threw a lot of good scents at you, so if the decision is too much, you might want to get the holiday candle set, which retails for $126. You can keep one for yourself and gift the rest, or keep them all. We won’t judge. The candles are available now on Nordstrom’s website.
