Benjoin Classic Candle DIPTYQUE

The captivating scent of benzoin rises as its sap is gathered from the tree, an ode to a resin celebrated across Asia and the Orient since antiquity.

Dry notes of bark mingle with warm, caramelized accents of resin. Across the flame, the air becomes a soft, enveloping balm. An ancient fragrance, reborn.

Story
The bohemian neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1963.
Guided by a desire to share their olfactory memories, Yves Coueslant, Christiane Gautrot, and Desmond Knox-Leet created Diptyque’s first three scented candles: Aubépine (Hawthorn), Cannelle (Cinnamon) and Thé (Tea).

The three founders’ fascination with nature gave rise to an exceptional herbarium of scents comprising more than fifty candles. Flowers, fruits, trees, herbs and spices make up this living collection.

The result of exceptional craftsmanship, the art of perfumery meets candle-making expertise. Each candle is made from a blend of several types of wax and a high-quality fragrance concentrate, as well as a selection of a wick that guarantee perfect scent diffusion and combustion. Meticulous work carried out in two factories, near Paris and in Provence, by master candle makers.
