A Meeting of Minds: Diptyque Limited Edition Insolite Candle

A Meeting of Minds: Diptyque Limited Edition Insolite Candle

A joint celebration of individual design legacies, we uncover the story behind Diptyque’s Insolite Candle, made in collaboration with Liberty

By: Team Liberty

Be it the time-honed skill of the ceramicist, the olfactive acrobatics of the perfumer or the intricate musings of master goldsmiths: as our 150th anniversary dawns, Liberty has joined forces with celebrated editor, stylist and creative director, Leith Clark to shine a light on artisanal craftsmanship unbound. Delve into Liberty’s legacy as Leith curates a selection of 150 pieces from Liberty’s past and present, each with their own unique story to tell.

The very best scented candles transport you to other times, places and moods. They move you, make you feel comforted and calm, and bring balance to the overall atmosphere of the room. But they’re also beautiful objects of design in their own right. And that becomes abundantly clear the moment you peel back the box, strike a match and light the wick of Diptyque’s Limited Edition Insolite Candle, £70.

A scented candle collaboration between Diptyque Paris and Liberty, the creative partnership is first revealed in the packaging print, which sets Diptyque’s signature oval motif against a backdrop of Liberty’s iconic Strawberry Thief pattern.

But what’s inside the box – or more specifically, the wax – feels just as considered. The fragrance blends warm and cold spices, with delicate leaves and petals and invigorating zests. The top notes (the layer to first hit your nostrils) combine citrus scents of orange and lime, while the heart of the blend features ginger, clove and flowers, softly harmonised with woody cypress and thyme. So it's hardly any wonder, then, that it earned a place in Leith Clark's edit of 150 exceptional items, curated to celebrate Liberty's 150th Anniversary.

This was a design partnership just waiting to happen; Liberty’s own story has more in common with Diptyque’s than you might think. With beginnings as the rive-gauche’s answer to Liberty, the brand's boutique at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain was one dedicated to printed textiles and eclectic objects, bringing a piece of the world to 1960s Paris. In fact, before the opening of such boutique, two of Diptyque’s founders were already designing exclusive fabrics and wallpapers for Liberty.

The iconic fragrance house found its niche in candles – yet never left its past behind, and our histories became entwined with the creation of Insolite. Dressed in William Morris’ unmistakable Strawberry Thief, the limited edition collaborative candle drove our connection even deeper.

Kindred spirits with a shared passion for art and design, Liberty’s 150 year legacy is deeply woven into Diptyque’s history. The Arts & Crafts movement praises the beauty of an object by the pleasure experienced in producing it. Just like those responsible for selecting every object that finds a home in Liberty’s halls, Diptyque gives priority to craftsmanship, creating fragrances with a distinctive signature and working with only the finest raw materials. Now, it certainly doesn’t get much more Liberty than that.

Diptyque Limited Edition Insolite Candle 190g costs £70 as is available exclusively at Liberty, in store and online.
