Spread the magic of Christmas with these three wondrous scents from Diptyque

With Christmas around the corner, have you finished decorating your home with the essentials of the season? While the Christmas tree, the dancing lights, and the festive wreaths usually make up the list of things to consider, have you also pondered on what you want your home to smell like for the holidays?

As you know, scents have the power to transport the senses to a time and space that’s different from the here and now. It’s a sensation unlike any other. In the same way, Christmas comes alive in vivid detail when the right aroma sets the atmosphere.

When Diptyque created their otherworldly scents for Holiday 2017, they searched far and wide in the dreamlike universe to bring back to earth three inspirations. Drawn from the mythological creatures and constellations, each candle in the collection reflects a unique aspect of the holidays that remind you of the magic of the season.

The Frosted Forest draws inspiration from the Unicorn constellation, which contains a nebula called the Christmas Tree. The Unicorn itself has been thought of to symbolise harmony and beauty. This quality is best encapsulated in the colour green, which evokes the enchanted spirit and vicacious scents of majestic firs. Mixed with Hinoki wood and mint, the result is the rare aroma of a lush frosted forest.

Incense Tears take after the enigmatic Phoenix, reborn from its ashes—much like the colour blue which represents immortality. The phoenix relishes in a fragrant nest garnished with leaves of laurel, sweet Nard sprigs, with hints of cinnamon and Myrrh.

Finally, Fiery Orange channels the warmth of fire and the intensity of the dragon that the Greek goddess Athena cast into the heavens among the stars. The Dragon was also guardian of the Garden of Hesperides, where the perfumed nectar of the gods flow. The scent is reminiscent of blood orange, smokey wood, and cloves crackling in a burning fire.

These three fragrances come in a complete set, each in a ceramic vessel adorned with the intricate design of artist Philipe Baudelocque. From the colour to the design, the scent to the image it evokes—the Diptyque Constellation candles promise a full sensory experience for a Christmas atmosphere like no other.
