The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 19 May 2026 4 Comments

Coming soon from Diptyque, the limited edition Pinède candle: "Diptyque Pinède (Pine Grove) Classic Candle unfolds with that sun-warmed calm the house does best. Housed in a glass vessel, Mathilde Jonquière’s mosaic-inspired design recalls a water-garden landscape. The fragrance leans woody and aromatic, a chorus of umbrella pines meeting a herbarium of notes—warm underbrush, flowering shrubs, and the brightness of orange trees by sunlit fountains." The 190g candle will be about $94, and the green lid shown above will not be included in the price.

Among the new candles from Diptyque this spring, Sésame Noir: "In the heat of the oven, black sesame seeds slowly turn golden brown. Their dry, spicy aroma fills the air with intensity. Roasted black sesame seeds are enveloped in woody accords and notes of roasted hazelnuts. An enduring, rounded scent." $90 for 190g at Diptyque.

Another new limited edition candle from Diptyque, this one for the Lunar New Year: Lamei (Wintersweet). "A bright yellow blossom, a beacon of hope in the frost of winter, emerges from a limited-edition vessel bearing artist Zinan Lam's poetic and contemporary design. The Lamei flower, also called Wax Plum, unfolds velvety floral notes softened by honeyed accents and lifted with woody undertones. An emblem of renewal and optimism for the year to come." 190g for $88, but hard to find and possibly sold out already?

Diptyque's Roses candle for 2026: "A splendid bouquet of roses in bloom. For Valentine’s Day, a generous offering of love in a porcelain vessel, poetically designed by Constantin Riant"; shown in the opaque large size ($250 for 600g), also available in the clear glass classic size with the same vine and hearts design ($88 for 190g). There is also a matching oval tray ($130, not shown). (See also: Kevin's Home Fragrance: A Farewell to Diptyque’s Roses Candle in Pink Glass.)

The notes of his perfume

Posted by Robin on 17 December 2025 4 Comments

Seven years ago, around this time of year, in a bar in Madrid with brick walls and velvet sofas, I discovered the perfume that would end up being my signature scent for almost a decade. It was by chance that a friend of a friend came to say hello to the table and introduced himself to me. I don’t remember his name, nor his face, but today I could list from memory the notes of his perfume, which shortly after would also end up being mine: myrrh, myrtle, oregano, rockrose, pine, laurel, thyme and rosemary—cocktailed into Diptyque L’Eau Trois.
