The word “figuier” translates to “fig tree,” so, fittingly, this Diptyque candle is an olfactory botanical study. Take a whiff, and this candle will transport you to a Mediterranean fig grove, where you can smell the bark and dewy leaves of the trees — and even the pulp of the late-summer fruit.

What's more inviting than a home that's scented with warm, comforting vanilla?

All sharp, spicy, or nose-tickling edges on this scent have been smoothed down, making it incredibly cozy.

A softly sexy but surprisingly versatile scent, the Santal (or “sandalwood”) candle smells a bit more powdery than smoky.

Not only does this make for a pleasant room fragrance, but it is also a very approachable scented-candle pick for gifting those who are newbies to the cult of Diptyque. No overpowering funk here!

The Feuille de Lavande (meaning “leaves of lavender”) Diptyque candle is an olfactory study of the entire plant, not just the stress-relieving purple buds. One to have flickering away on a bedroom vanity or in the bathroom, this scented candle’s soft, herbaceous floral is nicely grounded with a greener, earthier base.

If you normally gift flowers for a special occasion but are looking to switch it up, this is the scent to get. The Roses Diptyque candle is a gorgeously fragrant, pure petal bouquet with a whole lot more staying power than the real deal.

The choisya, also known as the Mexican orange blossom, is a leafy, flowering shrub that happens to be a favorite for pollinators like bees and butterflies because of its sweet nectar. Likewise, this Diptyque candle has light neroli citrus and herbal notes that are soft and delicate without being too saccharine.

Looking for a Diptyque candle that evokes the dark academia aesthetic? Oud brings the mood you seek.

Steeped in patchouli, it's a scent that's truly meant for the perfume provocateurs out there.

A very understated complement to a lazy morning in bed with the crossword (or Wordle), the Mimosa Diptyque candle is tinged with a whiff of white florals and citrus rind. It's gentle, fresh, lightly sweet, and the exact kind of aromatic wake-up call we aspire to start each day with.

You are about to spark some serious Nutella cravings with this scent. The Noisetier Diptyque candle translates to “hazelnut tree,” and it smells unmistakably of that irresistible chocolatey spread. To make it a bit more interesting, this gourmand-friendly fragrance also contains heady, just-sweet-enough notes of cloves, patchouli, and cedarwood.

The Geranium Rosa Diptyque candle is a lush, verdant scent, smelling of a fresh-cut lawn and sky-high rose bushes. In other words: Calming, refreshing, and easy on the nose. It's a perfect fragrance gift to give anyone who grew up in suburbia and still fantasizes about those long, slow summers.

Leaning a little more powderpuff than most floral fragrances, the Freesia Diptyque candle exudes soft glamour for discerning scent obsessives.
