A new Diptyque limited edition candle for Eau Capitale: "From the Eau Capitale Paris En Fleurs Collection. For this celebration of Paris, Diptyque draws its inspiration from the rose and its many variations: like the roses of Bagatelle or the roses you’d find in a flower market. To create this scent, Diptyque collaborated with artist and friend, Pierre Marie. Together, they brought to life a fragrance inspired by Art Nouveau- a fragrant trellis on which rustic foliage and roses intermingle." In 70g mini ($38) or 190g full ($74), at Saks.

Wednesday scent of the day 1/1
Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, and welcome to 2020! It’s also the 8th day of Christmas (maids a-milking) and the last day of Kwanzaa. (And don’t forget that Donatella will be dropping by Friday to clear out last year’s damage.) What fragrance are you wearing to usher in the new year?
I’m starting off with Hermès Eau de Néroli Doré, and when that fades I am planning on Aftelier Candide.
