60 years after the first Diptyque candle, a new chapter is being written with the first scented candles for which the Maison also offers refills.

The collection “Les Mondes de Diptyque” (“The Worlds of Diptyque”) allows us to see and smell little-known places, adding a dash of extra soul to the mix. A saga in 5 volumes, each candle relating the history of the location it embodies in curls of fragrant smoke. Each candle opens a doorway to a different, faraway world. It’s an opportunity to enjoy an interlude outside time itself, spent in exploration of beauty.

In the Jiangxi province of China, the city of Jingdezhen lies at the crossroads of time and tradition. This cradle of Chinese porcelain, the “white gold” that was once used as a currency, is also famous for its white tea, which grows in the surrounding area and which is drunk from immaculate tea cups, following the rules of the art. Taking part in the Gong Fu Cha ceremony, which signifies “taking time for tea”, means appreciating all the subtleties of this precious, silver-leafed tea with a singular fragrance. Light the La Vallée du Temps (Valley of Time) candle and discover an ancient craft workshop set amid green tea plantations, reliving, today, the encounter of ancestral flavors and gestures. Beauty for all time.

Each of these candles was conceived to last through multiple lifetimes, and can easily be refilled with your scent of choice – so the journey never ends.
