Rather loving this one. It goes on like Ava Luxe Incense Noir, all burnt cork, wood smoke and resin incense, and dries down with more sweet musk and a hint of dusty cinnamon. Overall, very nice and...

I'm not a huge scented candle fan but I got this as a gift during the holidays and I have to say that I totally love it. It's very smooth and alluring, not at all cloying or thick where it feels...

one of the HG in the candle rotation. Brings forth visions of high windows, hardwood floors, clean lines and comfortable modern environment. The notes are perfectly blended but are definitely in...

Perhaps the most unique smelling candle I have encountered! Smoky, iris, birch, cedar, vanilla (or benzoin) - WONDERFUL!!!!

I bought this candle after trying Figuiere, which I love. I was a little disappointed in how musky and woodsy it smelled--I usually like those notes, but this was sort of like burnt firewood and...

My mom manages a store where they sell Diptyque candles, lucky for me! Anyway, I just found a bag under her bed with about five candles in it (it was like Christmas!) and this was one of them. I...

I love this scent! I wish I could duplicate it myself so that I wouldn't have to spend so much $$. This scent envokes a warm, cuddely feeling. The throw is not as strong as I had hoped for but...

Like Fresh Demitasse, this is one of those genius and totally unique candles that I can't imagine not constantly having in my rotation (except that they're both so dang expensive). Church incense...

Intense is all I can really say. I would like to melt this candle and pour it all over myself. This is wood and leather at its very best. I have never spent this much on a candle before and I would...

I can't believe I actually bought a candle that was this expensive!! However, I got it for 20% off at Amen Wardy with luckymag discount. Otherwise I think $50 is crazy! The candle is great......You...

A new favorite - especially delicious in the cold months. This is genius - a churchy, slightly spooky (though not to the degree of Messe di Minuit), incense centered scent that lends a warm,...

This candle is sexy, feminine and masculine all at the same time. I guarantee that you have never smelled anything like this before. It is subtle, perfect and so indescribably good!

The first and only candle I can barely hold myself back from rubbing on my body. It's a churchy mix of smoke and incense, both resinous and deep. Scents up a living room nicely but not heavy--this...
