Paris Scented Candle with Lid

What it is: A limited-edition candle that celebrates diptyque's 60th anniversary and is part of a collection inspired by the Grand Tour.

Fragrance story: The first stopover on the journey is Paris and its Left Bank, where diptyque's story began. This stopover is illustrated in a candle that has been conceived as a Parisian stroll. Walk along the Seine, its quais lined with weeping willows and chestnut trees, passing antique shops before losing yourself in the pages of old books found on the booksellers' stands. At the very heart of the composition, notes of polished wood and spicy vanilla accents of weathered books and paving stones evoke this Parisian atmosphere where art meets history. The candle is presented with a lid of sculpted black wood inspired by the design of old diptyque candle stands. On the label, a compass rose symbolizes the starting point of diptyque's Grand Tour. It is inspired by the compass rose carved on the forecourt of Notre-Dame de Paris to mark Kilometre Zero, the point from which every road in France starts.

Style: Woody, aromatic.

Notes: Essence of myrrh, old books accord, wood patina accord, Paris stone accord.
