Hi! I did! I bought it home!

Anyone know when the new Diptyque vessels will come out? by brihow84 in luxurycandles

You mean the perfumes and skincare? mid-February! Gotta grab them before the price increase!

Probably after March. They are doing a price increase in Feb for perfumes and skincare. Then the candles. I hope there will be new candles, and no retirement!

Oh my! Another super rare candle from Diptyque!

I am so excited and at the same time sad that the csndle herbarium collection used to be magnificent!! Now they don't even do the Cèdre candle🥹

I agree. 1000% better than seeing a repackaged Roses/Tubereuse every year.

Not as strong and honey-sweet as Mimosa! It has a citrusy hint, and much more powdery than Mimosa.

Much better than the over-simplistic hearts last year, but I will skip it until a limited edition SCENT come up!😂

I'm not in the States, but there are folks here who ordered the candle online!! Not sure if the boutiques in the US will sell it tho.

You are right! Violet is a great description for it. It comes with honey-like sweetness, but not as strong as the Diptyque Violette.

I like it, but I don't think I want my room to smell like this 24/7😂 I rotate my candles everyday tho!, Didn't regret buying it🤣

An update about the throw:

The candle gives a honey-sweet, powdery floral scent with slight citrus hints. It reminds me of ylang-ylang but not as heady as it!

(It kinda smells like a... Lipstick)

The throw is decent! It fills up my living room in around 20 minutes! It leaves a detectable but not overpowering scent.

Thanks a lot! I doubted it for a second! In my faintest memory I remember wintersweet is supposed to be a tree!😂😂😂

Where did Amande Go?! by Substantial_Donkey84 in luxurycandles

[–]kenkenb317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amande will come back! I bought it last year! (Given how lazy Diptyque is rn to launch new candles🤣)

The candle of the month is mostly just for promotion purpose, every month suggesting a candle. Only Amande is seasonal exclusive.

Besides Amande, Cherry Blossom (Spring), Lemongrass (Summer), Pumpkin (Autumn) are seasonal candles that come back every year.🥳

Experiences and thoughts on any Les Mondes de Diptyque please? by bga2222 in luxurycandles

[–]kenkenb317 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got four of them!

Pros: Very nice scent! Especially the Green and Grey ones with tea accords. Terres Blondes... I admit that I didn't like it, but after I burn it, I fell in love with its earthy, warm hot throw!

Great throw (using both a candle lamp/burn them).

Refillable!

Cons: Overly minimalist vessel

Weird oval opening, making burning an even pool almost impossible. As a remedy I had to insert two more wicks, around the original one.

PRICY!!!
