There are aspirational lifestyle brands, and then there's Diptyque. The Paris-based fragrance atelier was founded in 1961, and began production on their now-iconic candles 2 years later.
Today, Diptyque candles are unmistakable status symbols, adorning the fireplace mantels, bathroom counters, and bedroom vanities of pretty much every stylish person around. Although they have a higher price point than your average wax stick — priced at $38 for the mini 2.4-ounce size and $70 for the 6.5-ounce — they're still within a reasonable budget for gifting.
If you've ever been stumped on what to gift your mom, best friend, significant other, or a chic acquaintance you'd like to know better, Diptyque candles are the perfect gift for them all. Here are 15 of the most beloved and best-smelling Diptyque candles that are sure to impress.
If we had to choose just one Diptyque candle as our favorite, it would be this one. One of the brand's all-time bestselling scents, the Baies candle smells just like an oven-crisped berry compote, with notes of jammy blackcurrant and Bulgarian roses.
It comes in two different sizes, in either a clear glass or matte black vessel.
Can't choose just one Diptyque candle? Create your own custom bundle with this three-scent candle set. It's the perfect gift for the candle lover in your life.
Out of 13 available scents, you can select your chosen three small 2.4-ounce candles. The bestsellers are all there, along with cult faves like Jasmin, Ambre, and Cyprés.
This is the go-to Diptyque candle gift for a newly sparked romance. Known colloquially as the “sexy fireplace candle,” Feu de Bois smells exactly like a smoldering wood stove in peak snowy season.
Incredibly smooth from start to finish, the Diptyque candle Vanille smells like a bourbon-steeped vanilla pod, paired beautifully with sandalwood. All sharp or spicy edges on this scent have been smoothed down, making it incredibly cozy.
Figuier translates to “fig tree,” and fittingly, this Diptyque candle encapsulates all of its botanical elements, from the bark and dewy leaves all the way to the sticky sap of the late-summer fruit.
A surprisingly mild scent, the Santal (or “sandalwood”) candle smells more powdery than smoky. This makes it both a seductive and approachable pick for newbies to the cult of Diptyque.
The choisya, also known as the Mexican orange blossom, is a leafy, flowering shrub that's a favorite for pollinators like bees and butterflies because of its sweet nectar.
Likewise, this Diptyque candle carries light neroli citrus and herbal notes without being too saccharine.
Tubereuse, Jasmin, and Gardenia are three very similar white-floral Diptyque candles that are all fantastic options if you're gifting to impress the grand dame in your life ... but Tubereuse is probably the most interesting of the three.
Along with its heady floral perfume, there's also an enigmatic black licorice note that deepens its bouquet.
The Feuille de Lavande (meaning “leaves of lavender”) Diptyque candle is an olfactory study of the entire plant, not just the purple buds. One to have flickering on a vanity or in the bathroom, this candle’s soft, herbaceous floral is grounded with a greener, earthier base.
If you normally gift flowers but are looking to switch it up, the Roses Diptyque candle is a gorgeously fragrant, pure petal bouquet that's sure to last much longer than some blooms.
An understated complement to a lazy Sunday morning in bed with the crossword, the Mimosa Diptyque candle is tinged with a whiff of white florals and citrus rind.
You’re about to spark some serious Nutella cravings with this scent. The Noisetier Diptyque candle translates to “hazelnut tree.” And it smells unmistakably of that addictive chocolatey spread, along with heady, sweetened notes of cloves, patchouli, and cedarwood.
The Geranium Rosa Diptyque candle is a verdant scent, smelling of a fresh-cut lawn and sky-high rose bushes. It's perfect to give to anyone who grew up in suburbia and still fantasizes about those long, slow summers.
More flowery than fresh, the Freesia Diptyque candle is for someone who always wants the scent of an everlasting bouquet in their space. The underlying peppery note keeps this one alluringly complex.
A funkier counterpart to Feu de Bois, the Oud Diptyque candle pairs well with crushed-velvet sofas and low lighting. Steeped in patchouli, it's a scent truly meant for the perfume provocateurs out there.
