That's a very expensive fire. Even Bath & Body Works candles are too expensive IMO. I only buy them on sale, with a coupon. It's the same with Yankee Candle. Those are really the only two candle brands I rock with because they fill the entire room (sometimes the whole house) with fragrance - unlike the $6.99 varieties from Home Goods and Marshalls. <br /><br />Now Diptyque... The fragrance from these candles carry about the same as B&BW and Yankee, so there's nothing special there, BUT the quality of the fragrance is very noticeable. Their scents are so unique and lush and I think that's what sets them apart. I've only ever gotten the smaller candles, because I still can't wrap my head around spending $60+ for a candle, but they last a while because they don't need to be lit for very long. The fragrance spreads quite fast.<br /><br />My favorite bougie candles are from Votivo, Voluspa, and (my ultimate favorite) Trapp. These are all less pricey than Diptyque, but the quality is comparable.<br /><br />I light candles pretty much every evening. I remember the first time my husband ever came over to my place when we were dating, he assumed I was trying to "set the mood" because I had candles lit, lol (I'm sure he was confused when nothing happened!). He eventually realized that I just legit love candles.<br /><br />tl;dr I'd say put a Diptyque candle on a Christmas/Birthday wish list and let someone else buy one for you... then you'll be able to tell if they're worth your money. For now, their full-sized candles aren't worth mine.Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067983623857538831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6154604354357015024.post-19269853499085214832016-12-15T11:03:37.406-05:002016-12-15T11:03:37.406-05:00How do you like Diptyque candles?
