Diptyque Just Launched a Summer Advent Calendar Featuring 10 Fragrance Essentials (Including 3 Gorgeous Candles)
For a seasonal treat that will make your home smell good while enriching your personal perfuming routines, too
I didn't know summer advent calendars were a thing, but I'm now petitioning to make it an annual occurrence. And the culprit behind my new fragrance obsession? The just-launched Summer Essentials from Diptyque.
And it's not just the idea of 10 beautiful seasonal scents waiting to be unwrapped. Aside from making your home smell like summer, this advent calendar of sorts also includes lots of personal perfuming goodness, too.
Design and scent aside, what appeals to me just as much is the thoughtful curation of fragrance. This isn't a mish-mash of random notes that feel out of touch, nor is it filled with any novelty items that feel like an afterthought. This is for the fragrance lovers who wish to elevate ambiance and mood in style.
Et voila, the launch of the moment! Designed in collaboration with French mosaic artist Mathilde Jonquière, the box features a summery tiled design that trickles onto the classic labels, too. And within sits a treasure chest of bright summer scents.
What's Inside the Diptyque Summer Essentials Kit?
Starting with home fragrance, the Diptyque Summer Essentials Kit includes a Pinède (Pine Grove) Classic Candle with a fresh fragrance to make your entryway smell nice. It also offers a Citronelle (Lemongrass) Small Candle and a Figuier (Fig Tree) Small Candle, too.
Moving on to personal fragrance, it includes a refreshing Citronelle & Geranium Summer Body Spray and an Eau de Sens Hair Mist with notes of patchouli, orange blossom, and angelica root. Plus, a Philosykos Solid Perfume, if you love the maison's classic fig fragrance.
Now for your topical routines, it comes with a Voile Satin Oil, an Eau des Sens Hand Cream, a Philosykos Hand & Body Lotion, and an Eau des Sens Cleansing Body Gel to finish.
So, whether you're in the mood to make your home smell good or you're looking to add some scented moments into your wellness rituals, this kit will help you bring that warm summer feeling into your routine. And if it's just the home fragrance you're after, here's what you're looking for.
If We Could Make Our Own Summer Scents Advent Calendar
If you ask me, tea is the scent of summer this year. And it was this very candle that made me realize the versatility of this light, earthy scent.
I'd want my dream summer advent calendar to include Jo Malone's green tomato scents, starting with this lush hand wash.
If it were up to me, every Diptyque bundle ever would include this iconic scent. And for summer, it feels right to keep it in a spritzable format for easy perfuming.
Can you blame me for wanting this DRIES VAN NOTEN beauty to sit in my powder room and silently impress through fragrance and facade?
Summer is when I never leave the house without a mist. And this St Barts Hair & Body Mist that smells like dragon fruit, orange blossom and ocean breeze is tempting me.
At my last visit to the Diptyque maison, I was led to blind sniff this eau de parfum, and believe me when I say it was love at first spritz. Green, light, and unexpectedly summery.
FAQs
Is the Diptyque Summer Essentials Kit Good Value?
Yes, if you're a fragrance enthusiast with a love for this particular maison, then this is a brilliant way to holistically bring home the scent of summer. Additionally, some of the scents are limited edition within this latest collaboration with Mathilde Jonquière, adding to the 'collectible' value of the bundle.
Who Is the Diptyque Summer Essentials Kit Best For?
If you like classically botanical summer notes of pine groves, fig trees, lemongrass, and geranium, then it might be your new favorite advent calendar. And if you curate fragrance based on vibes alone, then this is for you if you prefer crisp, zingy green notes that uplift a space.
On the other hand, if you lean towards floral notes or gourmand scents, this is not the launch for you. But you can always look to Diptyque's Roses Scented Candle or its Classic Vanille Candle to satisfy your senses.
Sometimes I'm in the mood to make my fragrance rotation a little extra fun. And another designer drop that fits the genre of summer scents is Laura Gonzalez x Acqua di Parma.
