Hopefully the last lemming from Diptyque's Summer Essentials collection celebrating the brand’s 60th anniversary: the (huge) Citronelle candle. "With its lively, aromatic notes, lemongrass instantly evokes summer evenings when the sun has disappeared from the horizon and the air in the garden cools down. Perfuming and mosquito repelling, this candle is dedicated to moments like these. Here, lemongrass, luminous, reveals floral and citrusy facets where it meets verbena, neroli and orange blossom. The artist Luke Edward Hall has illustrated in colour the iconic oval of this limited-edition candle." 1.5g for $360 at Neiman Marcus (and there is also a 198g candle in glass for $68).
The daily lemming
I'm not even done lemming Diptyque's holiday collection, but here is the spiffy new Dancing Ovals collection, with limited edition decorated candles in Figuier (shown), Roses, Tubereuse and Baies. $74 each for 190g. (In some markets, you can also find the smaller 70g candles, and a holder for 190g candles.)
Diptyque holiday candles 2020
Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2020 (including the advent calendar) was decorated by artist Ugo Gattoni. This year’s candle line up includes three fragrances with fairy-tale creature decorations: Fleur Majesté (lion; roses with clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon), Ambre Plume (swan; amber, orange, cinnamon and ginger) and Sapin de Nuit (deer; fir, eucalyptus, rosemary and peppermint). There will be the usual 70g mini and 190g sizes, plus coffrets, candle carousels, and etc, and a 600g Roses candle in pink porcelain, plus a perfumed bracelet in Do Son with the three animal charms.
Also worth coveting, two more items scented with Sapin de Nuit…
The daily lemming
Limited edition spring colors for five Diptyque candles: Freesia, Mimosa, Iris, Rosa Geranium and Choisya. $74 each for 190g.
The (almost) daily lemming
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.
