The Synopsis
For the discerning tastemaker, no good interior is complete without a Diptyque candle. An essential addition to every room, ready and waiting to cast an aura of tranquillity (and maybe to impress a guest or two…) once lit.
The brand’s latest collection, Les Mondes de Diptyque, makes their candles more desirable than ever – a feat we didn’t believe possible. Explore their new world of home fragrance, and transport yourself to the Milanese renaissance with the captivating Nymphées et Merveilles Scented Candle (£208 for 270g) .
The Rise to Fame
After sixty years of candle making expertise, Diptyque invites us into an unexpected new world with Les Mondes de Diptyque. The five candles, including Nymphées et Merveilles, are inspired by unexplored treasures and mark the candle connoisseur’s first foray into refillable creations. Get ready for a journey of sensory, geographical and cultural discovery from the masters of olfactory storytelling… we’d expect no less.
The Credentials
This transportive collection prides itself on encapsulating olfactive snapshots of beautiful, but unexpected locations around the world from the mountains of Japan to the Mexican desert. Nymphées et Merveilles is your ticket to the baroque Milanese Villa Borromeo Visconti and it’s mysterious, labyrinthine gardens and grottos. Redolent of days spent wandering sun-drenched gardens, through orange blossom lined walkways, with delicate jasmine and irises waving in the summer breeze: bellissima.
The Star Quality
Housed in a blue tinted, blown glass vessel, created by Italian designer Cristina Celestino, this is a candle to enjoy again and again. Not only does it have a burn time of up to 65 hours, but Les Mondes de Diptyque represent the brand’s first ever reusable candles, with refills available for each creation (£90 for 270g). Meaning you can enjoy this renaissance world and all its splendour in blissful perpetuity.
