There is nothing chicer than amazing-smelling-homes. Victoria Beckham is famously chic, so it makes sense that every space she inhabits smells amazing. The fashion designer has long expressed her love for French luxury fragrance brand Diptyque, and now she's revealed a new smell she loves: their Figuier candle.
Beckham spoke about her best candle with The Strategist, explaining: '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.'
In my years working as a Celebrity Style writer, I've noticed that Diptyque candles are one of the most popular fragrance interior design trends among celebrities. A sniff and a glance, and it's easy to tell why. These candles smell exceptional, and the simple black and white design creates a luxurious feel in any space where it is used.
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.
