There's something so comforting and ritualistic about lighting a candle and letting the fragrance fill your home with the soft flicker of a flame. It's a small act of self-care and indulgence − and Diptyque's brand new collection, Les Rituels de Soin, has been designed to elevate that sensorial experience from morning to night.

Inspired by the philosophy of ancient bathing and restoring the connection between body and soul, one candle, Le Matin, is for awakening and refreshing your home in the morning. The other, Le Soir, can be lit as you wind down in the evening to help soothe, comfort, and relax.

Part of the wider Les Rituels de Soin wellness collection, these new designs are set to become one of my best candles for burning throughout the day as temperatures start to drop and fall sets in.

Les Rituels de Soin, or the ritual of care, begins in the morning. The Le Matin Classic Candle, available at Diptyque, features lively vegetable notes to awaken the energy of you and your home, connecting it to the brightness of the new day.

It's light and fresh, with scents of crushed mint leaves mingled with ginger, and, in my opinion, has a gorgeously herbaceous undertone of basil. It's exactly the type of smell I'd like to burn first thing in the morning, either in my bathroom to make my bathroom smell like a luxury spa as I get ready for the day, or in the entryway. Like all Diptyque candles, which are my absolute favorites and always counted among my best home fragrances, it burns beautifully clean and is suitable for small and medium-sized rooms.

That clean burn also makes Diptyque candles the best for getting the candle wax out of them, allowing you to reuse these iconic candle jars around the house. These vessels always look effortlessly chic on a bathroom sink or shelf, and there are plenty of refills also available at Diptyque (though not in this particular scent).

Then comes evening − and time to light Le Soir. The soothing fragrance, with notes of chamomile, sage, and warming cedar, is comforting, calming, and a signifier to relax and unwind. I can also smell layers of lavender in this one, which is a great fragrance to have in your bedroom – my Le Soir candle is currently sitting pretty on my nightstand.

While each candle is sold individually for $90, you can also find the matching scent in the Energizing Morning Ritual Discovery Set and the Soothing Evening Ritual Discovery Set. Both are $92 each, and would make the most beautiful gift idea this holiday season.

It's not just things to make your home smell nice that are included in the new collection, either. There's also Nurturing Cleansing Gel, Comforting Moisturizing Lotion, Perfecting Satin Oil, Rich Soothing Balm, and Invigorating Scrub, among other gorgeous new additions.

For the home, the limited edition Mediterranean Essences Oval Tray, Apothecary Jars, and Mirror Box are all equally as luxurious, and there's even a Diptyque Tissue Box which is absolutely beautiful, if you have $315 to spare.
