What's your favourite Diptyque candle?

I've bought cheap candles for so long for so once am going to splurge, everyone seems to love Diptyque. Are they that good? And what is your favourite scent, what does it smell like?

Violet! I wouldn't wear it as a perfume but it's sweet and lovely

KiloWhat · 12/01/2022 19:16

Flocon- it's one of their limited christmassy ones. It smells sort of powdery musky.

HarryDresdensLeatherDuster · 12/01/2022 19:17

Feu de Bois!

It is the most divine scent of wood smoke and there is nothing else quite like it! Would I buy one for myself? Not a hope in hell but have trained all and sundry to get them as presents.

AlDanvers · 12/01/2022 19:17

Jasmine or Ambre or genevrier

I had the cypress one, but wasn't overly impressed.

My favourite splurge candle is Boy Smells polyamberous. Absolutely love it.

juliainthedeepwater · 12/01/2022 19:28

feu de bois - it's my favourite candle in the world... nothing compares imo if you like wood-smokey smells

Tibtab · 12/01/2022 19:33

Oranger - smells like oranges (or Pomander - bit less orangey but with spices)
Litchi - smells like roses and lychees

LillianGish · 12/01/2022 19:37

If you just have one, it has to be Baies.

LillianGish · 12/01/2022 19:39

They are expensive, but they last for ages, smell heavenly and burn evenly right down to the bottom of the glass (you don't get that tunnelling effect where the wick burns out before all the wax has melted).

Vargas · 12/01/2022 19:41

Baies or Figuier.

LoveLabradors · 12/01/2022 19:42

Pomander is winter in a candle.

Trendytrousers · 12/01/2022 19:46

Ambre 100%. Strongest candle I’ve ever had scent wise!

The limited edition ones are always good too- I have Biscuit which…. Smells like a delicious vanilla biscuit!

Rose and Baies are quite weak and boring IMO and easily replicated by competitors

Whydoiwearsomuchleopardprint · 12/01/2022 19:53

Baies I love , I can’t bear feu de bois , smells like when you have been sat by a fire in a pub and your clothes smell Smokey but I have lots of friends who like it so maybe it’s just me!!!

KiloWhat · 12/01/2022 19:54

I don't like Baies personally but it does seem to be a favourite.

TequilaBlaze · 12/01/2022 19:58

Narguile. Nothing else smells like it, I don't think. Honey and spice, really gorgeous.

SummaLuvin · 12/01/2022 20:09

Feu de Bois!!!

honourable mention to Figuier.

Sauvignonblanket · 12/01/2022 20:09

I love Baies in winter and mimosa in summer. The scent is much better than other brands I've tried and now I can't go back!

willthatbeall · 12/01/2022 20:11

Baies

But I have loved the Neom candles I was given last year.

umpahlumpahstickitupyourjumpah · 12/01/2022 20:33

I have the advent calendar and we are slowly working through it. Each one we try is my new favourite. Violet and Feu de Bois are just gorgeous though!

Rainallnight · 12/01/2022 20:34

Baies or Figuier.*

Same

Oooh will have to try this one
Mamajunebugjones · 12/01/2022 22:16

Feu de Bois
Have a room spray- just reminded me to spray prior going to sleep- bliss

MimosaFields · 12/01/2022 22:35

Narguile. For me, this is what luxury smells like.🙂

Tinkletwat · 12/01/2022 22:50

Anyone else find they don't have as much throw as they used to? They have really increased in price over the past few years (like everything!) although I'm very keen to try the new litchi one.

Feu de bois, baies and tuberose are my favourites.

DameDoom · 12/01/2022 22:50

Tuberose for spring and summer, Pomander and Cannelle for winter. Need an autumn choice.
