Fab Find of the Week: Diptyque Summer Essentials
File under: ‘Well, we can dream, can’t we…?’
This is the top-of-the-range offering in Diptyque’s fabulous summer collection, all tucked inside a gorgeous case designed by Mathilde Jonquière to conjure up a ‘water garden’.
The ‘essentials’ comprise a 10‑piece, limited edition seasonal edit built around lemongrass and geranium, along with gorgeously orange blossomy Eau des Sens (one of the very best around), plus top-to-toe treats showcasing Diptyque'’s classic fig and pine accords.
Open the box, to find…
• Pinède candle (70g) – a real whisk-you-to-a-pine-grove scent, in travel size.
• Citronnelle candle (35g) – even dinkier, with a lemongrass/citronella accord that’s meant to repel pesky mosquitoes, but has a fab citrus‑aromatic profile.
• Citronnelle & Géranium Summer Body Spray (100ml) – bit of a cult, this, with lemongrass (citronella), geranium, neroli and orange blossom essential oils for a fresh, citrus‑aromatic, bugs-hate-it skin mist.
• Figuier candle (35g) – with a classic Diptyque fig tree vibe: green fig leaves, milky sap and wood.
• Philosykos Solid Perfume (3g) – creamy green fig in solid format.
• Eau des Sens Hair Mist (30ml) – orange blossom, bitter orange/bigarade facets, juniper berry, angelica and patchouli in a light hair mist.
• Eau des Sens Hand Cream (45ml) – with that fabulous orange blossom scent, absolute hand heaven!
• Eau des Sens Perfumed Cleansing Body Gel (50 ml) – and here’s a gentle-on-skin fragranced shower gel, to layer on the loveliness.
• Satin Oil (50ml) – a satin‑finish dry oil for body and hair, with that gorgeous summer water‑garden theme.
• Philosykos Perfumed Hand and Body Lotion (50ml) – fig-scented and fab.
Most of these are also available individually, if you haven’t £235 to splash out on the Water Garden Summer Essentials kit. (And we haven’t, right now!) You’ll also find other limited editions with the beautiful Water Garden look, on their website.
But what’s completely free, though – and we LOVE this! – is that Diptyque has created a ‘wallpaper’ that we can all download for our screens, offering the soothing appearance of water flowing over the mosaic background. Allowing us all a little bit of the dream, at no cost…
