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.
Diptyque Flora Fortuna candle ~ home fragrance review
In the earlier 2000s, I used to make frequent purchases of scented candles (and room sprays and “wax tarts”) from any number of brands. Nowadays, I buy candles from an independent candle-maker in my own city and my home fragrance cravings are pretty much satisfied. One exception: my annual purchase of a holiday candle from Diptyque, an indulgence I never regret.
This year’s Holiday 2019 collection is titled Porte Bonheur (“good-luck charm”) and features illustrations by Olaf Hajek. I’ve chosen the “blue” option every year for nearly a decade, because it’s usually something deep and incense-y. This time, after pondering all three candles in the Holiday 2019 collection, I gravitated towards the “red” choice. Its official name is Flora Fortuna and Diptyque recommends burning it “for good luck.” Its glass canister is decorated with “symbols of good fortune from around the world such as the four-leaf clover and maneki-neko cat…while the red color brings us the energy needed to seize its luck…”
Lucky charms
Two quick videos (one is below the jump) for the Diptyque Lucky Charms holiday collection (here and here). Then, a video from Marie Claire where someone just holds the candles up and twirls them so you can see the full designs (be warned: if you already sort of wanted one of the candles, this will cost you money). Then below that, an image of the limited edition candle lid that matches the collection.
