Introducing the Diptyque Holiday Candle collection for 2018! It was just released yesterday… and I already have a review for you! What??? Well, when you have a problem (both a Diptyque and a Christmas problem), you have your ways of finding the Christmas stuff *early*. I should mention this is not a paid or sponsored review.
This year’s collection is beautiful! I bought one of each in the collection – the middle one is the standard size and the other two are smaller sizes. They are not cheap so I didn’t want to buy all large ones having never smelled them before!
You can’t quite tell in the pictures, but the candles and boxes have metallic foil on them so when you move around it catches the light. The most beautiful aroma fills the room even just having them sit out in the open like below. I actually rather like the scent of all three together, but I would not burn them all at the same time, what a waste that would be!
Every year Diptyque has a theme for its candles so each year the candles are different. This year is Legend of the North,” a winter’s legend that awakens the spirits from imaginary folklore. In this wonder-filled story, diptyque candles take on magical powers” (from Diptyque).
Exquisite Almond Candle
Spreading in the air delicious volutes of almond and tonka bean. This candle reminds me of marzipan with a hint of smoke. It is a sweeter candle but not overpowering. 
Pine Tree of Light Candle
From this light is born the captivating scent of fir trees, warmed by the delicate, neighboring cedars. This one is my favorite of the three, only because I *love* pine tree candles. This one has pine tree scent with a hint of burning cedar. 
Amber Balm Candle
A gracious accord between vanilla and benzoin, enhanced by the freshness of lavender. This one is I think the most unique scent of them all, it is a smoky amber with a hint of sea salt.
Candle Carrousel
This is such a cool contraption. This sits on top of the larger candle (190g candle) and when the candle is lit, the heat from the candle will cause the carrousel to turn! It’s like magic! (or science…)
Below I have it displayed on the larger candle. This works for all Ditpyque candles that are 190g. I love that it is metallic so it sparkles in the candlelight and produces beautiful patterns in the room. I had been wanting to purchase one from previous years but I would forget and then it would sell out.
You can shop the whole collection at Diptyque.
Love the candle topper. My girls have already been talking about bringing out our pyramid for Christmas. They’d love this too.

The candle topper sells out quickly – I am told it is sold out some places already!
