Create a soothing mood at home with the Les Mondes de Diptyque collection, which features refillable scented candles inspired by five exotic travel destinations
Since its inception in 1961, Diptyque has been making waves with its irreverent herbarium of scents. The brainchild of Christiane Gautrot, Desmond Knox-Leet and Yves Coueslant, its multi- talented co-founders sought to create covetable objects of desire. From its distinctive fragrances and sleek vessels to the iconic oval labels, the French cult label has garnered a loyal following across the world. Now, the legacy of these scented luxuries continues afresh with its enchanting new collection, Les Mondes de Diptyque.
Around the globe
Translated as “the worlds of Diptyque” from French to English, the Les Mondes de Diptyque collection features a range of five scented candles, housed in beautiful vessels designed by Italian artist-designer Cristina Celestino. These glass candle-holders come in an oval form with three stacked tiers, and are designed to be refilled.
Each vessel bears Diptyque’s iconic logo as an embossed design on its recessed lid, which can also serve as a base for the candle.

Tapping into the perfume-making expertise of Olivia Giacobetti, these candles feature timeless scents inspired by five enthralling destinations.
Travel by your nose to the graceful gardens of the Villa Visconti Borromeo in Milan with Nymphées Merveilles, a candle that brings forth zesty notes of ripe oranges at the height of the Italian summer. Take in the tropical scents of La Forêt Rêve, which is inspired by the surreal Las Pozas garden in Mexico—it features a botanical mix of tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine, vanilla and galbanum. Breathe in the woody scents of Temple des Mousses, which carries hints of moss, bark, lichen and matcha green tea; it draws inspiration from the Arashiyama Mountain in Kyoto, Japan.

Then, relish the cocooning aroma of La Vallée du Temps, which captures the essence of Jingdezhen, China’s renowned porcelain capital, and a place closely associated with tea rituals. Finally, complete your journey in the American desert oasis of Mesa Verde, Colorado, with earthy notes inspired by crops such as corn, beans and squash that grow in the summertime.
