Diptyque Paris is inarguably one of my favourite candle and fragrance brands, from the quality and uniqueness of the scents, to the beautiful monochrome packaging. Each candle is a mixture of up to eight or nine mineral waxes and each scent is blended to reach the right melting temperature, which is apparent in the strong fragrance that fills the room when one of these candles is burning. Baies is described as "a bouquet of blackcurrant leaves and Bulgarian rose" and finds a beautiful balance between fruity and floral. There is a sharp edge to the scent and to me, it smells summery, fresh and green.
The candle burns beautifully and is very strongly scented, but in a way that is never overpowering. I was praying that Diptyque made a perfume with the same scent and apparently L'Ombre Dans L'Eau is the fragrance equivalent of Baies, so I will have to give that a try soon as it would make the perfect Summer scent! What are your Diptyque recommendations?
This candle sounds lovely! I love a nice mixture between fruity and floral so I will be popping this onto my wishlist. I also can't get over how beautiful the packaging is!
