Diptyque Candles - Worth the money?

Not that I'll be spending real money Grin, I got some John Lewis gift vouchers (£50) last September and i have the urge to spend them on a totally indulgent item rather than something i need,

So are they worth it, do they scent the whole house, how long do they last and which is your favourite?

The Rose one!

Yes, I went through a stage of getting them.

Maquis
Rose
Baies

are nice and strong. Others not so strong at all - lavender, freesia can't remember the others

Baies is gorgeous. But I love it so much I haven't lit it yet, and I've had it well over a year.

have always wanted to buy one aswell
how long do they last?

I've never timed my candles Hmm. Several weeks, providing you only light them when you are in the room.

wildstrawberryplace · 27/01/2012 17:20

The burn time is 60 hours I think.

Lighting one for an hour or two at a time is plenty for me, too overwhelming otherwise.

See my advice on thread about candles,definately worth the money as a lovely treat!

TooEasilyTempted · 28/01/2012 21:02

Well I'm disappointed. John Lewis at the Trafford Centre don't stock them. But the sales assistant did tell me that I can use my gift vouchers online. So I've ordered the Figuier candle because I like the sound of it... "green and wood notes with crushed fig leaves". Hope I like it when it arrives!!

Baies is lovely and I quite liked Figuier too - bought them in my young and carefree days - but no candle is ever ever worth that money!
