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.

Time has stood still in Mesa Verde, a troglodyte stone city perched on the high desert plateaus of Colorado, erected centuries ago by an ancient Native American people. These first inhabitants understood how to tame its hostile ocher earth – arid in summer, frozen in winter – transforming it into shelter, into a generous soil. Here, fields of nourishing crops, sun-ripened maize, beans and grains, stretched as far as the eye could see, soft as wheat and golden as the rays that darted about on the horizon. Light the Terres Blondes (Golden Lands) candle and escape to the American West, roaming its primitive and fertile lands and feeling the distinctive breath of its warm air. Return to the sources – to the essential.

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.
