Diptyque’s holiday collection for 2024 once again features three candles. This year's decoration features felt labels by British artist Lucy Sparrow. Friandise ("The gourmand scent of the Friandise candle within is a mouth-watering delight sharpened by spicy notes, filling your home with gingerbread, cinnamon and candied orange peel"), Étoile ("...floral and velvety, lighting up your home just as stars illuminate the deepest blue of the night sky") and Sapin ("...fresh pine needles and resin, prolonging the scent of Christmas with every burn") are available now at Harrods in the UK, £120 for 3 x 70g or £68 for 190g.
The daily lemming
Holiday candles from Glasshouse: Festival of Lights (blue; "Sweet milky Tonka Bean, Apple and spices evoke the bright and joyful blessing of light this season"), Night Before Christmas (red; "Blackcurrant, Plum, Lemon and Lavender hung in the eventide air. Inspired by plum puddings, sweet treats and festive fruits, conjuring dream-like visions and the magic of Christmas"), Winter Wonderland (green; "The nostalgic, sensory immediacy of the tree, glistening prettily with snowflakes and sparkling with the scent of freshly cut fir and spruce, it’s Christmas at its most star-bright") and White Christmas (white; "Vivid and illuminating, Cedar Leaf, Fruity Clove and Eucalyptus evoke wintery escapes, while Fir Balsam places you amongst snow-capped trees"). Each 380g for $55 at Neiman Marcus (where you'll also find other sizes, home and bath items, and a Glasshouse advent calendar).
The daily lemming
The Holiday 2024 limited edition version of Annick Goutal's Une Forêt d'Or candle: "The magic of a forest in winter, Goutal’s ‘Une Forêt d'Or’ candle has a cool, frosty presence that sparkles with dustings of snow. In between the darkness of the pine trees, a glimmering wonderland of freshness opens an invitation to festivity. A deeply green imagining of the year’s colder months, notes of Pine Branches meet effervescent Orange Rind to create a scene filled with boundless life." 300g for £83 at Escentual in the UK.
The daily lemming
From Diptyque's new L'Eau Papier collection, limited edition candles in Papier ("velvety musks mingle with sesame and heliotrope in an ode to this much-loved material") and Encre ("depth of patchouli meets the dense texture of black liquorice in an evocation of ink"). $74 each for 190g.
The daily lemming
