You know the festive season is on the way when the glory that is diptyque's Collection 34 arrives, a carefully curated edit of fragrances and curios that is sure to wheedle its way on to many a Christmas list.
Every year since the launch of Collection 34, diptyque has chosen an exceptional harvest to which it has dedicated a specific fragrance. In 2016, the winner is a field of May Roses in Grasse - the home of perfume in France - which inspired the perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin to create this new Essences Insensées. The airy centifolia, cabbage rose from Provence has become a rare treasure on the Riviera. No other variety can compare. The climate protected from the wind, the moisture descending from the nearby mountains to quench the land’s thirst, and the iconic southern sun, all team up to create its incomparably delicate fragrance.
As well as the new scent, the collection includes the delectable new Madeleine candle, with its almond drenched scent of a French bakery and three fabrics, created by Charlotte Gastaut, made into cushions, tote bags and make up bags. Add to those a charming array of candle holders and a beautiful gilded carousel - inspired by traditional German Christmas trinkets - and you have yourself the perfect gift wish list.
