This is just superb, I have been researching "what are the best candles on the market?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Panlijah Inconceivable Position - (do a google search ) ? It is a great one off product for discovering how to become a candle making master and turn a profit without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got great success with it.

I love coming back and rewatching this video every couple months. This was my introduction to the Diptyque brand 3 years ago. I was in Paris a couple months later and popped into the boutique. Fast forward a few years and I now own dozens of their candles and fragrances! ❤️

The only home scent from Diptyque that attracted me was feu de bois. I’m a much bigger fan of Byredo candles. Buying luxurious candles is basically burning money but they elevate my apartment so much. I’m a home buddy so it’s important that it smells good. And girl you should definitely get yourself a wick trimmer!

What a perfectly timed video! I love watching all of your collections. My favorite Diptyque candles are: Vanille, Pomander, and Figuier. I’m currently saving up for Benjoin, Santal, and 34. I wish I didn’t love these candles so much, but they bring me so much joy! They’ve turned me into a candle snob-no other brand will do, now. Lol.

It is so hard to choose a favorite, but Benjoin, Le Redoute have been in heavy rotation during this frigid winter.

Great video!

This video is so satisfying to watch. I must have watched it over a dozen times in the last year, and it’s the reason why I popped into Diptyque when I was in Paris and now own several candles (and have a hefty chunk missing from my savings). ❤️❤️❤️ The Essence of J.G. is tied with Feu de Bois as my favorite winter candle.

Love your video. I have recently tried and fallen in love with Diptyque. I tried the Baies candle and the Gingembre room spray. I want to try the Figuier for my bedroom. The green glass is so enticing! I find it so difficult to buy candles because it can smell different when lighted!

Such a brilliant video! My absolute favourite Diptyque candle is 34 boulevard Saint Germain - such a lovely one for the home, and so unusual as it's a combination of all their scents (love the porcelain jar it comes in too) Baies comes in a close second, and I've gifted that one to friends in the past as who wouldn't love it!? Also really love the combo of Feu de bois and pomander for the cold winter months leading up to Christmas - so festive and fills the home with warm, spicy orange notes! Love me a Diptyque candle xx

I find Baies pretty strong. I'm getting the indoor-outdoor 5 wick for my birthday, and I'll have enough spaceNK points to get a classic or coloured candle for free! Which would you recommend? I smelled Mimosa in the store and think it's too light. If i get an expensive candle i really want to smell it. I'm tempted by the geranium rosa, is it strong? And could you describe the gardenia one a bit more? Is it strong? Sweet? Fab video, it's what got me into diptyque!

You should definitely try the rose delight! I had two minis by accident, and heard that they didn’t give off much of a scent, absolute tosh! They have to be the most scented beautiful rose themed Diptyque Candles...and this is coming from an addict. Also I live Cuir for winter (Leather) it smells like a fireplace in an old Victorian library at your oak desk, penning a letter in ink, if that makes sense! I’ve just ordered another huge Rose Delight, they also had an offer online whereby you received at mini mini roses and lots of rose mini cosmetics in a special bag. I was never a candle fan, especially the idea of spending £50 on one before, but they have become my absolute luxury comfort xxx

Diptyque is legendary. Diptyque's candle scents and fragrances waft like butterflies but, however, they're highway robbery. Here's why... This from Diptyque: "In addition to natural fragrances, Diptyque candles can also boast a high quality that is hard to match." Read between the lines. Natural fragrance does not mean essential oils. If Diptyque used essential oils they would say so. Diptyque uses synthetic oils, which almost all high-end perfumers use. There's an argument too that pure essential oils don't have a strong throw but that's another discussion. My main critique with Diptyque is that their candles are dry and very little oil is used, whether synthetic or natural. Many candles have little to no smell at all. Diptyque was once a small company making small batch artisanal candles. The amount of oil in their candles used to bead up on the wax surface. When lit, their candles filled the room with extraordinary fragrance. When unlit, their candles had a strong cold throw. No more. Diptyque's quality is gone but it's no surprise. Diptyque expanded to some 100 stores all over the world and with expansion comes compromise. Diptyque candles are mass produced, of poor quality, and sold for exorbitant prices. Then there's this. "Diptyque candles are all hand-poured and made of high-quality paraffin wax." This is crazy. You're paying $80 for a candle made with petroleum based paraffin wax. Is this paraffin wax from China or from France? Does it matter and how do we know? Oh, and thank you Diptyque for not using "poor-quality" paraffin wax. I can't make this stuff up if I tried. Of course, Diptyque couldn't use soy wax or beeswax because this would be too costly for them and they'd have to have to raise the price beyond what is already extraordinary. Better to pinch pennies at the factory and maximize profits. Sounds like something something an equity firm would do, not an artisanal French candlemaker. It goes on. "Each candle is carefully prepared individually and hand poured to ensure that a qualified person can spot any problems and flaws." Does it matter if a candle is hand poured or poured from a machine? Again, with 100 stores and candles being made en masse, all that matters is precision. Great candles must use high quality wax, high quality oils and fragrances, and high quality wicks centered on their bases. This is marketing gobbledygook and Diptyque knows it. It gets worse. Sure enough, in 2005, Diptyque was bought by... you guessed it... a private equity firm, Manzanita Capital. Their CEO, William S. Fisher's worth is $1.85 billion. He worked at the Gap and he's a hedge fund manager. It's Fisher's job to maximize profits at all costs, definitely not what I would associate with an artisanal, high quality candlemaker. There are salaries to be paid. I'm not talking about the pittance that Diptyque's staff are paid, though they're the heart of the company and should be well compensated. The real money is made at the top of the food chain. It explains why Diptyque's candles cost $80 and if you want to buy a lid for the candle, that's an extra $30 - $60 for a cheap piece of... whatever. If you're not careful, you can spend up to $140 for a 190g paraffin wax candle. Like I said, highway robbery. Diptique is no longer a French candle company. They are owned by a London-based conglomerate. Diptyque's gorgeous looking products and their extraordinary history keeps them from being a 1-star company, but their candles suck purple Twinkies. There are many better alternatives at all price points. Here are a few high-end candlemakers that use quality ingredients: Cire Trudon, Mad et Len, Maitre Gantier, Christian Tortu, Le Labo, & Carrière Frères ...and many come with lids.

Ooh that's a tough question Amanda! Scents are very personal so I'm not able to make any recommendations. I'd say Mimosa or Baies are their most subtle scents ✨ x

I tried my first Diptyque candle this Christmas. I ordered Pomander... and was disappointed. To me the aroma was too soapy and it gave me headaches so now I'm reluctant to try other scents.

Oh no, sorry to hear that Kristina! I actually haven't tried Pomander but I can say that their scent range is so wide that you won't necessarily have the same problem again. I get headaches from strong scents too but don't find that with any of the floral Diptyque candles in this video, they're much more subtle than I'd expected x

I want to start my journey with candles. My question is, can you light up these kind of candles like Diptyque in an air conditioned room?
@matildaonvideo
@matildaonvideo 4 жыл бұрын
That's going to depend on the size of the room and strength of your air conditioner to be honest! I don't have any issues where I live, but the strength of the airflow will always be different in each person's home 🕯 x

How long this candle last? And how many minutes to scent the entire room?
@matildaonvideo
@matildaonvideo 5 жыл бұрын
The Diptyque 190g candles burn for about 50-60 hours, but the scent will vary depending on the size of the room. I burn mine in a bedroom down a long hallway, but can still smell it at the front door! 👍 x

Hoo Boy, guess who ended up buying a mini Baies a week after seeing this video? Admittedly, I got a nifty little discount from Mecca, but still, that's some scary suggestive power, ma'am!
