Set of 5 Miniature Candles - Holiday Edition

I’m on my fifth (In three months, oops!) narguillé candle now. After finishing my Christmas staple candle Oranger I wanted to find something warm And cozy for the winter months that didn’t have typical holiday notes in it (pine, cinnamon, etc), and this one blew me away. I always have to have it burning now, but the scent is still potent when it’s not lit! The perfect warm, cozy, somewhat neutral, chillier-nights scent. I will probably switch to jasmine when it starts to get a little warmer because that one is also divine and I like changing things up with the seasons, but I just lit a brand new narguille and have another backup. It’s a really special candle. Someone take my Nordstrom card away!

I have to admit, I’ve been disappointed with Diptique candles recently. I purchased a couple at the end of 2019. They were perfect. Exactly what I’ve come to know and love about this brand. The candles I purchased at the start of the year were normal too. July, I purchased two duds. One burnt so poorly I had to use a butter knife to dig out the wick (that had been buried in the wax). Apparently this is called tunneling. I had to ask myself why I was having to do this to a $100 candle (the red glass). The other burnt fine, but the wick wasn’t all the way to the glass? So it left 2.5” of unburnt wax at the bottom and no wick to light. Just the metal disc, sitting on top of the unburnt wax. So it sat in my pantry as a “room freshener”. In the past, I’ve had longer wicks from Diptique. I’ve always had to trim the wicks prior to burning. That has not been the case the last 6+ months. I took a break from Diptique until recently. I purchased three more candles in October and November. My October candle had a hard time getting started. Now, it sits 1/3 burnt because I’m afraid to lose the wick. I decided not to keep 2 of the 3 brand new ones (returned 2 unopened) because I’m losing faith in this brand. The salesman I talked to, regarding the issue (who returned the items for me) said he’s had this exact issue with Diptique. I asked him if the brand had changed hands, materials or the way they make the candles, to which he said “not that he was aware”. He did tell me that is the same reason he’s moved over to LeLabo and another brand Nordstrom carries. Unfortunately, I think I’m about done gambling on Diptique because their quality has been so inconsistent recently. Otherwise, the scent is fantastic.

The box says Baies candle but when you open up the sealed plastic inside is clearly a Figuier (not Baies) candle. I think it's likely a mistake and not a counterfeit product. I tried calling support but it's in Peru and the call quality is so poor we couldn't really understand each other on the phone. I'm returning and purchasing from Amazon.

If there was a incense that encompassed nature, this would be it! Very strong scent when unlit, even still in the box a scent was present. A little perfume-y but the tonka bean comes alive and negates it well once lit. I bought this for my husbands home office along with the feu de bois (fire place scent) candle . When burnt together it smells like a fireplace burning wood that was exposed to incense. Mysterious and timeless combo I love it.

I would give it 6 stars if I could. It is a near-perfect match for my beloved & addictive Tom Ford Tobacco Vanilla Eau de Parfum! I previously purchased the Tom Ford candle, which was a huge disappointment at an enormous cost. Diptyque Narguile is simply perfection both in scent & throw (just right & not over-powering). Although I love this scent any time of year, it's especially nice on a cold, autumn night. If you love that tobacco and honey scent, highly recommend! <3
