Diptyque ‘Baies’

Score: 73%

Notes: Blackcurrant Berries, Roses

In their words: The tangy coolness of freshly picked blackcurrant berries. A few black bunches still have their leaves, their green and aromatic scent blending with the lively, flowery accents of rose.

In our words: If Paris were a scent, it would be this one. Delicate, ever so slightly frilly, expensive, classic. Baies is one of Diptyque's most elite.

  • Family: Floral
    Size: 6.7oz
    Burn: 50-60 hrs
    Price: $68 ($1.36/hr)
    Blend: Paraffin Wax ⚠️ (linked to asthma and lung cancer)

  • Baies is meant to be fruity, but it's more accurately what we wish Roses would smell like: the berries tone down the harshness of the floral, resulting in the Rose candle of your dreams. The throw and fragrance is what you've come to expect from Diptyque.

  • Carcinogenic Wax: Diptyque candles are made of paraffin wax which creates the highly toxic benzene and toluene when burned — both known carcinogens and linked to asthma and lung cancer.

    Throw: I wish the throw on this were better. I want my entire apartment to smell like Baies. I want my neighbors to know I'm a Baies freak.
