Favorite diptyque candle?
Can’t do Baies! Headache inducing but wear and love most of the scents. Floral tends to give me a migraine.

Anyone else taking avenge of P.F. Candle’s sale? What did you order and why?
*Update:
It seems like folks are split on this brand, some love the subtle scent and other not so much. After reading lots of P.F. Candle reviews on this sub I decided to try 2 candles, 5 incidents, and 1 linen spray
Hi there. I am looking for a new candle and there are so many options on the market haha I am also quite new to the luxury candle scene.
Thought I could just quickly ask for some recs here.
Since it’s summer here in Germany and it’s getting pretty warm, I am looking for a nice fresh scented candle.
I love linen, cotton, clean soapy smells. But also love floral and sea scented stuff too.
So far these are the candles I have loved and used in the past:
Byredo:
- Cotton Poplin
- Coin Laundry
- Bibliotheque
PF Candle Co.
- Los Angeles
- Sandalwood Rose
As you can see, I haven’t used many and while I do love the two top brands, I don’t find the throw on all of them so great, besides a few standouts.
So I appreciate any recs. As I said before, I live in Germany, therefore the brand would have to be acquirable here/EU.
Thanks in advance :)
Please suggest some candles or wax melts for my first few days post elective limb surgery. I’m expecting an EFFload of pain and want to treat myself to something lovely to look forward to. X
I see candle delirium has this in their batch of new scents. I'm interested since I've got a discount code. Curious if people have burned this candle, how is the hot throw? What exactly does it smell like? Thanks!!!
Some candles and Diffuser are on sale
Anyone know where I can find ultra niche candle fragrance scents I’m not talking about the ones that are already out there or another fruit, floral or gourmand scent I’m talking about atmospheric scents like nightclub or Laneway
I've been struggling with work... initiation struggles, maintaining focus, perfection paralysis... so trying a burn roadmap for the day. Sichuan Pepper, Abd el Kader, Geranium, Tartufo Bianco, Benzoin & Cacao. Wish me luck!
If you burn while working, which candles help you focus and lock in?
Has anyone gotten their candles from Lemuria’s summer sale? I’m so nervous - it’s 100+ degrees today and my order is out for delivery. I keep envisioning a box full of melted wax. Do I have any hope?? Why are people running sales on candles right now 😩
Update: candles were delivered perfectly fine, a little moist on top but no wax anywhere. Feeling incredibly silly for worrying 😅
These are gorgeous summer candles that I got from browsing this sub's old posts. Can't thank you all enough for detailed reviews that didn't disappoint!
From left to right, Absinthe by Carrière Frères (forgotten herb garden, color green in a scent), Freedom of the Horse by Glasshouse (countryside afternoon, field flowers and honey bees, warm leather), and Tomb of the Eagles by D.S. & Durga (cooling sea breeze, clover, and old stones). All heavenly.
I need more *summer recs* that aren't the usual suspects (not Diptyque -- I have 45 scents from their catalogue and I definitely don't need more -- and not Trudon)! Something complex or different, scents like poetry books, your sleeper hits or the hidden gems.
so I know this totally depends on the vibe of the home, but thought I’d ask anyway.
think of a cute little cape cod with a white picket fence in a little high income historic neighborhood. it looks cozy/small on the outside with a cute little porch with Virginia creeper vines running up the side, but step inside and it’s surprisingly open and airy with a two-story tall great room with sunlight streaming in thru big windows spanning almost the whole width and length of the opposite wall — through shimmering green trees, casting hundreds of little dynamic circles of light everywhere in the room. I have a few houseplants around which love the high ceiling, and all the natural light. Furniture is sparse and low but high quality. the hardwood flooring, big windows, but historic, worn-but-maintained wooden surfaces throughout makes it feel kind of zen.
what kind of candle would you pick for selling a house w/ this kind of vibe?
Even something generic would be fine - like a lemon, linen, eucalyptus, etc?
thanks!!
Small selection of candles but they carry AdP, a few DsD and a smattering of others.
I walked into Ralph's Coffee last September and saw this candle in the merch section and I loved it but didn't buy it for one reason only. The plain vessel (no branding, even) doesn't look particularly beautiful or exceptional in a space. The smell though... now that's something else.
It's beautiful, green, fresh, earthy. Notes of Alaskan cedar, fig tree and vetiver root. So I caved in and purchased it last month. Haven't burned it yet but I used it under the candle warmer in my home office and I'm loving it.
RL candles are slept on.
Lafco is having a 30% off their Holiday candles.
Our July BST thread is officially open!
If you have candles to trade, sell, or are looking to purchase, leave a comment below.
Here are some simple guidelines to help keep you safe in BST transactions-
General BST rules:
Only post items you currently have in your possession.
Include size, how many times lit, percentage left, etc.
When paying through PayPal, use the Goods and Services option. There is a fee, but this will protect the purchase and ultimately both the buyer and seller if something goes awry.
When posting either items to sell or items you are in search of, include your location (country). This will help folks figure out if shipping would be domestic or international.
As always, use your discretion and BST at your own risk. Mods cannot assist with BST issues or transactions.
I got an alert from Diptyque about a secret sale that went to my US associated account while the sale is for European people Lol
I saw Christmas, perfumes, and recently discontinued candles along with kitchen and candles accessories such as plates. I didn’t know Diptyque is in the kitchen business. Thought I don’t know how Diptyque can possibly ship candles in high heats blasting Europe!
Luckyscent is running a 10% plus free shipping with code- July4. I grabbed a few Lola James Harper and Astier de Villatte candles.
I’ve been eager to try Flamingo Estate’s products for years and never ventured into alternative brands (e.g. As Ever). When they released their line of Prinsesstårta goods, I was very curious as I’d heard their scents tend to be complex and mature. Normally artificially scented candles, even those intended to smell like cake, can give me a headache, so I was curious what their take on something sweet would be.
Fast forward, I just received their Prinsesstårta scented milk bar soap, mini candle and perfume roller. When it comes to reviewing scents, I’m terrible with adjectives but will say that it’s got a spiciness to it and lingers as sort of thick and leathery and more masculine than dainty and sweet. It doesn’t have that cloying chemical sweetness which is a relief. I’d recommend this for anyone who isn’t put off by warm spice (rather cinnamon-y) and sweetness. As good as it smells, it doesn’t conjure images of cake or remind me of baking, but that’s just fine!
