Discussion for the Diptyque Crowd (please join!)

[AnneMCC]

If you are a fan obsessed or just a beauty lover curious about Diptyque, come on over! I thought this would be a fun place to share your thoughts, collections, decorating ideas, questions about the fabulous world of Diptyque.

I started out with one candle, the Beverly Hills candle-which is so fabulous-I'll post a picture of it tomorrow-thinking I was crazy to buy a $70 candle. Yes, it's crazy-crazy good! I've since collected 2 or 3 more and purchased a perfume. This week I got my first body care item, the satin body oil. I really love everything from Diptyque.

So let's discuss 🙂 One question I have is how do you get the inside cleaned out so you can use the jars for pretty collections like I see a lot of on social media?

I finally opened mine just now to smell it so I could answer your question but when I opened it (it was sealed) the candle looks all scratched up and like someone filed down the wick.  😞

[AnneMCC]

This is very odd! I just looked at mine which I haven't opened yet and my wick is cut down but the wax looks fine. It's smooth and I do see roughness on yours. Nordstrom, thank goodness will always take care of something! Did you use your Nordstrom charge? You could always call the 1-800 number if you don't want to wait for Denny to get back to you..

[guzelkiz]

It was hard to catch in picture but it's all scratched up on top.  I did use my Nordstrom card and was going to call like you suggested but Denny responded to me and is processing a return and then she'll send me a new one.  So I hope this one comes looking better.

I may be alone on this, but I personally wouldn't worry about the scratches as long as they are only on the wax (if the jar was scratched it might be a different story).  They will disappear once the candle has burned down a bit.  I can't get a good look at the wick, but I will say mine was extremely short on my Rosaviola but it's burning just fine.  I actually like to keep my wicks as short as possible in order to avoid flare-up.:)

[guzelkiz]

The jar isn't scratched but I've never seen a wick this short on another Diptyque candle.

Please tell me you kept the receipt so you can exchange it.  That's just awful.  What a bummer.

[guzelkiz]

I don't think I did 😞  I ordered through AnneMCC's SA so I emailed her.  It's just so sad to me because she initially ordered it for me from Nordstrom online because she didn't have it in stock at her store at the time.  They charged me but never shipped it.  She had to call CS and get it reversed for me.  Then she finally got it in her store so she charged me and had it sent herself.  And now this happens.  I just feel bad because we also had such an issue getting the Dior highlighter so I feel bad taking up more of her time.  I did email her though.

[annec322]

It's not your fault.  These things happen.  I bet she will open the boxes to look at the candles before shipping them again though...live and learn.

[guzelkiz]

True.  I emailed her and she just responded saying she will process a return for the one I have (I can keep it though) and she will resend me one.  I'm sure it will be fine this time.

I love it but I'm telling myself there will be something new to love so I should wait for that.

Does the Eau Rose fragrance smell exactly like the Roses candle? That Lychee is fabulous.

[jessied2]

Eau Rose is much sweeter. Roses is a very straight up fresh cut rose scent, no lychee. 

[sungelly87]

Thanks for replying! I definitely smell the Lychee/fruity note in Roses and that's why I love it. Funny how everyone's nose is different.

[AnneMCC]

I'm sorry i can't say-I swapped away my Eau Rose sample 😕

Is everyone ready to hear about some Diptyque new products and GIFTS!!!!! (Oprah voice)

So I was in at Nordstrom today and in March, during triple points, there will be some Diptyque goodies with purchase-mini candles, perfume minis and other goodies. The new fragrance is Eau de Sens an Orange Blossom and new room sprays Oranger and Gingembre.

I do not know if this is in store only or will be online. I heard about it through my Nordstrom manager. PM me if you need details, I think a lot of you already know her 😉

But there are some other Nordstrom stores that have Diptyque too and perhaps the gift will be at other retailers. I am just sharing what I know...because I know we all love those cute little Diptyque minis..

[AnneMCC]

I just wanted to pop in here and suggest something-right now Space NK has an amazing gift bag with $250 purchase-if you wanted to stock up on Diptyque now would be a good time! And I thought too that if you had a buddy to split the order with, you could each get 2 candles and the mega Space NK gift bag and split it 🙂

Details are on the Gift bag thread..

The bag is pretty great - I picked it up in store yesterday! Mine had a Roses mini candle which I can't wait to try 🙂

[luvgloss13]

I have a deluxe size (12mL / 0.4 fl.oz) of Eau Duelle eau de parfum that is free to a good home if anyone is interested in trying it 🙂 I spritzed it once, but vanilla scents are not my cup of tea!
