So, let me share with you the 16 best Diptyque candles that you absolutely NEED in your life.
From the classic Diptyque Baies candle to the captivating 34 Boulevard Saint Germain, these iconic jars with their softly flickering flames will have your home smelling divine in no time.
PS: This is NOT a sponsored post… simply talking about my true loves, completely unfiltered.
Diptyque Roses Candle
I’m starting off my list of the best Diptyque candles with the delightful Roses for a reason. This isn’t your grandma’s average rose scent — it’s a modern, refreshing take on the classic.
With notes of freshly cut roses, it’s like having a bouquet of flowers in my home all the time, without the hassle of replacing wilted blooms.
And the oversized 21 oz version of the Roses candle comes in a gorgeous petal pink jar that’s worth the aesthetics alone!
Diptyque Baies Candle
Coming in at number two on the list of the best Diptyque candles is the ever-popular Baies (Berries), which is less intensely floral than Roses.
Instead, it combines the fresh, fruity aroma of blackcurrant leaves with the delicate notes of Bulgarian roses without the latter overwhelming the former.
In short, the Baies candle is a perfect balance of sweetness and earthiness that will make any room feel inviting.
I love lighting it up on days when I want to feel like I’m strolling through a lush, fragrant garden — and not stuck behind the desk chasing some crazy deadline!
Diptyque Ambre Candle
I absolutely adore the warm and inviting Ambre (Amber) candle. The rich, velvety scent, featuring notes of wood, vetiver, and patchouli, creates an atmosphere of pure relaxation.
It’s perfect for unwinding after a long day or setting the mood for a chill night with friends.
Diptyque Mimosa Candle
For a light, cheerful scent that’s perfect for brightening up any room, Mimosa is my go-to candle.
Its sunny, floral, powdery fragrance features notes of sweet mimosa flowers, underlined with hints of honey, has me dreaming of warm, breezy days all year long.
Diptyque Jasmin Candle
Jasmin (Jasmine) is an unabashedly sensual and intoxicating candle. Its lush, heady fragrance of jasmine flowers transports me to a sultry, moonlit garden where the air is heavy with the scent of blooming petals.
That’s why this Diptyque Jasmin candle is my go-to for romantic evenings or when I just want to add a touch of seduction to my space. It’s sophisticated and alluring scent never fails to captivate.
PS: The scent of jasmine is also known to calm anxiety and soothe depression, which is why this is the candle I always turn to on manic days!
Diptyque Vanille Candle
If you’re a fan of sweet, gourmand scents, then Vanille is the candle for you.
The rich, warm aroma of dense, precious vanilla pods combined with the spice’s smoky and leathery accents fills my home with the most delicious scent.
Just like walking into a bakery, without the added calories!
Diptyque Eucalyptus Candle
And then I have Eucalyptus — a refreshing, invigorating scent that’s perfect for revitalizing my senses.
With its crisp, clean notes of eucalyptus leaves underlined by a touch of camphorated notes, this candle is ideal for those days when I need a little pick-me-up.
This makes it perfect for a home office or any space where you need a burst of energy — it will help you stay focused and alert. Diptyque’s Eucalyptus is the one you will find me burning the most when I am chasing a crazy deadline!
Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Candle
This iconic Diptyque scent is a tribute to the brand’s first boutique on 34 Boulevard Saint Germain in Paris. With a complex blend of woodsy, spicy, and green notes, it’s the epitome of elegance. Light it up and get instantly transported to the streets of Paris!
Although, I have to say that the new jar is a bit disappointing. While the opaline glass with tone-on-tone hues does glow beautifully, there will always be a special place in my heart for the original octangular one in white biscuit porcelain.
There was just something so tactile about the earthenware pot made entirely by hand by a porcelain manufacturer.
The original jar is still available in 10.5 oz and 21 oz versions of the 34 Boulevard Saint Germain candle versions but that size (and cost) is a tad too much!
Diptyque Aubépine Candle
Aubépine (Hawthorn) is the epitome of springtime bliss. The delicate floral scent of hawthorn blossoms mingles with hints of green leaves and wild roses, creating a gentle and uplifting fragrance.
When I light the Aubépine candle, I feel as if I’m taking a leisurely stroll through a blooming garden, revelling in the beauty of nature. It’s a sweet, tender scent that brings a touch of whimsy to any room.
Historial trivia: Aubépine is one of the first three Diptyque candles ever created. The other two were Thé (Tea) and Cannelle (Cinnamon).
Diptyque Santal Candle
I have a soft spot for warm, woody scents, and Santal (Sandalwood) is no exception.
This candle combines the rich, velvety aroma of sandalwood with earthy undertones and a touch of sweet vanilla. The result is a scent that’s both grounding and luxurious, perfect for cozying up with a good book or relaxing with a glass of wine.
The Diptyque Santal candle is my top pick for creating an inviting atmosphere for friends or cool down the room for long afternoons at work.
Diptyque Cyprés Candle
I can’t even begin to describe the love affair I have with Cyprés (Cypress). The moment I light this candle, I’m instantly transported to a Mediterranean forest filled with fresh, earthy scents of cypress trees and aromatic herbs.
It’s like being on a dreamy vacation, basking in the warmth of the sun and enjoying a gentle breeze.
Cyprés is perfect for creating an atmosphere of serenity and relaxation, making it my go-to candle for unwinding after a long day.
Diptyque Figuier Candle
Figuier (Fig Tree) is my go-to candle when I’m longing for Mediterranean summer vibes.
It captures the essence of a sun-drenched fig tree, with its green leaves, fruity figs, and warm, woody bark. The scent is fresh and uplifting, making it the perfect choice for brightening up any room.
In short: This one’s like a vacation in a jar, minus the sunburn!
Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle
There’s a reason Feu de Bois comes up high on every list of the best Diptyque candles — or any candles for that matter!
Translating as “wood fire” in English, Diptyque’s Feu de Bois is the ultimate candle for creating a cozy ambiance. Its smoky, woodsy scent with hints of burning embers makes me feel like I’m snuggled up by a roaring fire — even if I don’t have a fireplace.
It’s the ultimate hygge experience in a jar!
Diptyque Tubéreuse Candle
If you’re a fan of floral scents like me, then Tubéreuse (Tuberose) is the candle for you. This intoxicating scent showcases the heady fragrance of tuberose, a white flower known for its sweet and captivating aroma.
With its powerful, seductive fragrance, this candle is my must-have for those romantic nights in. Light it up and watch the sparks fly!
PS: If you are buying the Diptyque Tubéreuse candle, be sure to check out the ocean blue version, which doubles up as the perfect home decor accent.
Diptyque Feuille de Lavande Candle
I couldn’t resist including this heavenly candle in my list. Feuille de Lavande (Lavender Leaf) captures the essence of a dreamy lavender field, with its calming and soothing fragrance.
The candle combines the floral, herbal notes of lavender with a hint of soft sweetness, making it the perfect choice for a moment of relaxation and self-care.
Lavande is my little sanctuary, and I can’t imagine a world without it.
Diptyque Verveine Candle
Last but not least on my list of the best Diptyque candles is Verveine, a zesty, uplifting scent that combines the citrusy aroma of verbena leaves with a hint of freshly cut grass.
This candle is perfect for creating a bright, revitalizing atmosphere in any room.
So there you have it — my 16 best Diptyque candles for bringing an enchanting atmosphere to any space.
