I will admit that aside from tinted moisturisers and cream blushers (post coming on the latter soon), another little side-obsession I have is candles. I’m still in my ‘Yankee’ phase and happily enjoy burning my mega 16 ounce Christmas Cookie candle which fills my room with it’s sickly sweet fumes, however I fancied something a slightly more refined, spa-like even, for pampering evenings. The obvious candle choice for this kind of activity is Diptyque. Originating from Paris in the 1960’s and created by 3 world-famous  artisans, these candles can be pretty costly but after seeing them pop up in a few others favourites I decided that it was worth taking the plunge. There are a few Diptyque stores in London, but your best bet is to look in your nearest Selfridges or Space NK, which is where I got mine from. After having a quick sniff of the range I decided that my first Diptyque candle (yes I’m already planning my second purchase), would be Baies. It’s one of their most famous scents and is a delicate blend of rose and blackcurrant leaves, but to me it just smells fresh, really like my local Space NK store actually! Although when it’s burning the scent of rose comes out and my room smells nice and subtley girly. I can already see that this is going to be a bit of a ‘never-ending’ candle! I burnt it for a fair few hours the other night and the tiniest amount of waxed melted! As I said I’m already planning my next purchase so if any of you have a particular obsession with a Diptyque scent then do let me know below!
