When it comes to luxury candles, there is perhaps none more identifiable (and present in celebrity homes) than Diptqye. The French fragrance house's distinct candles feature glass encasements and a signature, black and white label, serving as both a status symbol and a decorative object that looks as beautiful as it smells.
As a celebrity style editor, I've taken note of my Diptyque spottings, and these are three of the most noteworthy candles I have seen in celebrity homes.
To start with, Victoria Beckham, a figurehead for modern luxury, has been known to promote her favorite Diptyque candle in interviews.
The designer and former Spice Girl spoke about her best candle with The Strategist, stating: 'My flagship store on Dover Street is all about awakening the senses, and scent was a really important piece of the store experience. Over time, Diptyque’s Figuier Vert candle has become our signature fragrance – everyone who walks in always talks about the amazing smell of the store, and that’s just because of the candle. I love the warmth of fig wood so much that I often have one for my office, too.'
This candle doesn't just smell like figs, but like the whole fig tree, in all its green and woodiness. I especially adore the version that comes in a green vessel, and think it would look so chic in a minimalist room.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian's candle pick is a unique variation: as seen on her Instagram page, her preferred scent is the ever-popular Baies, which contains floral and berry notes for a gorgeous, feminine aroma. However, rather than go for the standard glass model, she has opted for a an all-black, ceramic iteration that is chic and contemporary as can be.
Tangy and herby, this fresh-picked blackcurrant candle is unlike any other. It is a harmonious fragrance that unites its flowery rose notes with the berry notes. Its beautiful container means it looks great on any shelf or coffee table (because who can really argue with Khloe's endorsement)?
Finally, Kate Hudson's pick leans fresh and relaxing. The actress shared her favorite home fragrance as a 'Top Pick for Living Well' in Chalkboard, and she revealed that she swears by the Eucalyptus Classic Candle. With herby notes of eucalyptus leaves, this candle is perfect for transforming a bathroom into an oasis, and an excellent spa bathroom idea.
This slow-release candle is filled with the spa-like freshness of eucalyptus leaves, melding into an enchanting green forest. Plus, the recognizable glass holder looks beautiful on any shelf. An endorsement from Kate Hudson is just the cherry on top.
Whichever fragrance you choose, you can know you're in excellent company. Soon, we expect you'll love Diptyque as much as the celebs we write about daily...
