Few fragrance brands hold the same prestige as Diptyque, the Parisian label that's a consistent favorite among celebrities. These figures can have their pick at any candle on the market, yet Diptyque often comes out on top – whether it's for their own homes or a failsafe gift. The latter is the case with Brooke Shields, who revealed how she gifts these candles to those she doesn't know well but still wants to gift a foolproof present. As one of the best candles since 1963, we, too, promise it's a failsafe solution.
'If I don’t really know someone, but I want it to be good, I’ll find a really beautiful Diptyque candle,' the Blue Lagoon actress shared with Today. 'People seem to really like those.'
Shields says the L’Ombre Dans L’eau is her favorite scent; however, it's not available in candle form. As an alternative, we're looking to Kate Hudson, who swears by the Eucalyptus Classic Candle (available from Diptyque).
This slow-release candle is filled with the spa-like freshness of eucalyptus leaves, melding into an enchanting green forest. Plus, the recognizable glass holder looks beautiful on any shelf. An endorsement from Kate Hudson is just the cherry on top.
Diptyque candles may date back to the '60s, but today, they're beloved by the celebrities we write about daily here on H&G's celebrity-style team. We've also noticed Kim Kardashian using the Jasmin throughout her living space, and Roses in the bathroom. Meanwhile, Beyoncé has been known to love the Vanille sent, while Megan Markle adores Diptyque's Tubéreuse (Tuberose). Kate Hudson's fresh, green pick feels like a modern spin on these more classic fragrances.
This gorgeous floral candle fills the room with romantic notes of jasmine. The notes that emerge are subtle yet persistent, tender yet sensual. What more could we want in a statement candle?
Whether you decide to treat yourself or stockpile for gifting others, this beautifully boxed set of Diptyque's most praised candles include Baies, Roses, Figuier, and Feuille de Lavande.
This full and rich candle evokes the feeling of walking through a budding rose garden in the spring. However, these flowery notes are unmistakable at any point of the year.
If you choose a classic-sized candle, Diptyque suggests the fragrance will fill small or medium-sized rooms, though it's ideal for any-sized space. It's designed so the fragrance is gradually released and persistent (but is optimal after around 20 minutes) – something to bear in mind if you want your home to smell as beautiful as possible before guests arrive.
