Social media has been abuzz with rumours that TK Maxx and Homesense is stocking discounted Diptyque candles. The French fragrance brand is renowned for its luxurious scents and with a reduced price, it’s easy to see why so many of us have put pedal to the metal to get one in our shopping basket.
The candles went viral on TikTok over the past week, as shoppers discovered the candles in their local TK Maxx stores. Not only were they impressed by the price, but the range of scents available. The Benjoin Candle, Cypres Candle, White Narguila Candle and the Lys Lily candle were all spotted.
When searching for the best scents for your home, finding your signature at a discount price makes it smell even better. All the scents were found to be discounted from £56 to £44.99, making them £11 cheaper than the original price.

However, like most viral TikTok buys, demand means it can be had to track down and find the product. On many of the posts, comments have complained of the lack of Diptyque candles in their local store.
‘Noooooo plssss I’m so sad I already know it’s not going to be there when I go,’ said one TikTok user.
Holly Cockburn, Content Editor at Ideal Home, also went off in search of the elusive discount Diptyque candles. ‘I had a look in the Hammersmith store after I saw a TikTok about it. I couldn't find it but they had some Tom Dixon and lots of Neom candles.’
The Diptyque candles have a cult following thanks to their unique scents, even burn and pretty packaging. Even when the candle is spent, many of the Ideal Home team a guilty of reusing the candle jars around the house as make up tool holders, pencil pots or mini vases. Still, with a hefty price tag of £56, they are definitely a luxurious, once-in-a-blue-moon purchase for many of us.
However, the good news is we have the low down on how to get a good deal on a Diptyque candle if you don't want to drop £56. So if you missed the TK Maxx ones this is where to look next.
