I've bought one for my mum but it's all boxed so I can't smell it. Are they nice? I've never tried one.

Which one did you get? I've only had Baies and I liked it.

They are absolutely beautiful. I'm burning one right now. Which one did you buy?

I bought a special edition luck candle. The packaging is so pretty.

I love them. I’ve got the pine Christmas one at the moment. I have Feu de Bois in winter and Tuberose or Baies the rest of the year but must try others.

I have never had a diptyque candle that I didn’t love ! Your mum is lucky .

They are gorgeous. It's a brilliant gift.

I love both the Figuier and Baies. The jars are so pretty, I keep the empty ones on my dressing table for things like cotton buds and tweezers, scissors etc.

Yes. They are one of the best premium candles (although Forsanetti are the most amazing but SO expensive!).

I adore Fois de Bois, Tuberose and the one they made in the name of Galliano. It smells like sex and church combined!

They burn beautifully, especially if you snuff them as opposed to blowing them out. She needs to trim the wick before each lighting, and let it burn to completely melt the top layer of wax each time. It’ll prevent tunnelling.

Feu de Bois. Thicko at French!

They sound great. I hope someone buys me one for my birthday. I saw their advent calendar and I will have it one year when I am flush.

I've bought amber for my mum but might keep it for myself! I have the spinning thing that sits on top if it as well.
