Orange blossom, jasmine, iris.

Villa Borromeo Visconti. A striking spectacle: a baroque garden where frescos, nymphaea and pathways lined with orange trees ripened in the sun.

Light the Nymphées Merveilles (“Nymphaeum of Wonders”) candle and you’re entering the enchanted gardens of the Renaissance, losing yourself in the splendours of 16th century Italy. Let the sun, and art itself, be your compass.

60 years after the first Diptyque candle, a new chapter is being written with the first scented candles for which the Maison also offers refills.

“Les Mondes de Diptyque” (“The Worlds of Diptyque”) is a collection that lets us see and smell little-known places, adding a dash of extra soul to the mix. A saga in 5 volumes, each candle relating the history of the location it embodies in curls of fragrant smoke. Each candle opens a doorway to a different, faraway world. It's an opportunity to enjoy an interlude outside time itself, spent in exploration of beauty.

Each of these candles was conceived to last through multiple lifetimes, and can easily be refilled with your scent of choice – so the journey never ends.
