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?

[Nicrohr]

I just got the Provenuesse candle (spelling sorry!), and I really like it!   I was hoping I'd LOVE it, it falls just short of love for me, but it's still worth it I think. 🙂

I have the special edition one in the marbled clay jar, it sort of "matches" my special edition Redoute candle (which is a LOVE).

It's a somewhat "green" scent though I was hoping you would smell cedar a bit stronger, it's nice for spring!  The marbled jar is lovely and looks great next to my Redoute.

That sounds interesting Nicrohr! I'm going to smell this one if my Nordstrom has it...

reporting back on the Diptyque direct GWP- it is indeed the face care travel set that ccc52795 wrote about http://community.sephora.com/t5/Beauty-Confessions/Discussion-for-the-Diptyque-Crowd-please-join/m-p...

I ordered the body travel set to get it (and a Figuier candle to meet minimum shipping) so i am excited to be able to try full-on Diptyque skincare sometime this spring 🙂

Spoiler

Bonus for korean speakers: french sounds absolutely ridiculous when written using korean alphabet..

[Anonymous]

what are the details on how to get this, I'm not seeing it on the site

[lezli]

On the diptyqueparis.com website select "more" at the bottom of the screen and then "exclusive offers."  You will see the information there. The GWP will appear in your bag when you add facial or body skincare.  Hope that helps.

Good to know it is the same one! I have had the body travel set and a mini candle in my shopping bag but trying to avoid the temptation - so many other beauty minis to get through without adding more to the stash! But it is so difficult to pass up a freebie haha.

[MSena]

hahahahaha thank you for this 

I wish they'd just... translate the words. 

Visage turns to Vijaju lol

[TriesToBoClassy]

Lol yes, why not translate?! I am glad it gave you a good laugh 😉

[MSena]

Have you ever seen this? XD

Spoiler

Such amazing exotic dishes, like the renowned "six membership fees pip rice..." 

[TriesToBoClassy]

ok, translating is risky...

loll i would love some bear thang 🙂

[malday]

But, that "the cold noodle whichit rubs" sounds pretty delicious

[MSena]

Hahaha 

There's also the delectable "Our house Bear Thang"

That's right. Thang. Not thing. 

Pretty sure they used Google Translate for this 😄 

[AnneMCC]

Oh so basically you got the Face travel set for free buy buying the body travel set? and a candle to get free shipping? Wow that does sound nice. I'm tempted!

[TriesToBoClassy]

yes, most items from the L'Art De Soin collection (excluding lip balms, hand cream, and soap?) qualifies you for the GWP, and shipping is free when you spend $75+. Even with the GWP, it is a lot to pay for basic skin/body care, but it's still a good opportunity to try the line.

Has anyone smelled the Choisya candle? It's the step up gift for Diptyque for Barney's Beauty Bag event and I wanted know if its worth getting.

[lezli]

It is Mexican Orange Blossom.  I love the smell!  It transports me back to vacationing in Puerto Vallarta every time I smell it.  What size is the step-up candle?

[sungelly87]

35g so it's a mini with $75 purchase

[TriesToBoClassy]

I looked it up and it looks like it would be a wonderful one if you like orange blossom..? I would love it, but i have spent already way too much (especially on Diptyque 0_0) to place yet another order. Do let me know your thoughts on the scent if you decide to get it!

I'm here to report back on my first Diptyque oval, in Rosaviola.  I got my package from Beautyhabit yesterday.  In case anyone is interested, I was very happy with their service.  They provided 3 free samples, all of which I'm excited to try.  They shipped out very fast.  The only downside for me is that the package came from California and I am in Pennsylvania.  For others I'm sure the CA location would be a plus.  Still, I ordered on a Saturday and got it on Friday, so not bad at all.

Back to my purchase, I hung the oval from a hook in my closet, closed the door and waited a few hours.  It's hard to describe the size of my closet - it is not a walk-in, but it is rather wide, a pretty ample space.  When I opened the door later in the evening I smelled . . .nothing.  However, I grabbed the hem of the shirt the oval was hanging near and noticed that the fabric was scented.  So what I did next was I pulled out the shirt I planned to wear today and hung the oval over the hanger.  I put the shirt on this morning and two hours later I can still smell the scent!

In conclusion, not so great for an air freshener, but it will scent your clothing if kept in near proximity.  I'm going to keep experimenting with different applications, but I'm pretty happy with the purchase so far.  The question is how long the scent lasts.

I went a bit crazy for Rosaviola this winter. I have the oval, too. (Plus both sizes of candle and the solid perfume--:shame:. )I hang it in my bathroom. Luckily for me (though, usually, it's unluckily), I have a very sensitive sense of smell, so that little waft of violet kind of does work as an air freshener for me.
