A ray of sunshine for St. Pancras as Diptyque pops up

The weather may still be a bit off-and-on, but the vibe at this multi-sensory summer installation – open now and remaining in place until September – is sunshine all the way. To be found on the station’s concourse, right by International Depatures, Diptyque’s pop-up is inspired by a summer fruits garden, ‘shimmering with colours and vitality,’ as they put it.

There are loads of special edition and just-for-summer creations to explore – we are especially taken with the lemony lip treatment, Diptyque x Susanne Kaufmann Lip Oil, as well as the fresh-scented Lemongrass & Geranium Body Spray, which is the most gorgeous anti-mozzie spritz we’ve ever smelled.

And a really special and unique product, meanwhile, is Summer Essentials – sort of the sun-drenched equivalent of an advent calendar, which somehow feels even more welcome in the middle of the year, when we could really use a treat. The most gorgeous keepsake box, designed by artist Marie-Victoire de Bascher, opens to reveal 10 items of fragrant gorgeousness, with highlights (from our perspective) including Philosykos Solid Perfume; Ilio Hair Mist; the luscious Diptyque Satin Oil, for bodies – and that Lemongrass & Geranium Body Spray. Truly, a lust object!

So, even if it chucks it down, this summer we know a place where the sun will be permanently shining. See you there! (We’ll be the ones in shades.)
