Cyber Monday is finally here, and while I'm insanely excited to snag my favorite products at a steep discount, I find shopping for the best beauty deals a bit stressful. So many sales are happening all at once, and I sometimes spend money on items I don’t like simply because I get a discount. To ease my anxiety, I'm focusing on finding deals for one of my favorite French fragrance brands this year—Diptyque. In my search, I found some of the absolute best perfume and candle deals to shop for 2024.
I'll give it to you straight: Your best bet at scoring a new perfume or luxurious candle from the brand is to search across multiple retailers. If that sounds like too much work for you, don't worry—I tracked them down for you. Bluemercury's current Cyber Monday Sale isn't the only place where you can score Diptyque for less: you can take 20 percent off any purchase (with no minimum spend!) through end of day Cyber Monday (December 2). The more you spend, the more you can save, too—take 25 percent off purchases of $800 or 30 percent off $1,500. You can also find discounts at sites like SSENSE, where select candles, room sprays, and fragrances are on sale for 15 percent off.
Keep scrolling for a definitive list of the best Diptyque perfumes and candles, according to me (Marie Claire's resident fragrance obsessee) our team of editors, to get a sense of the scents you may love. Our team is obsessed with the brand for its line of deliciously fragrant products that we can rely on to last day in and day out (or on 14-hour days when we’re running around to events and meetings). Trust me, you deserve to treat yourself this season.
Thanks to Bluemercury's Cyber Monday sale, you can score this gift set for less than $100. It comes with one hand cream and one scented hair mist to instantly elevate your cold-weather routine.
Floral fragrances are my least favorite scent family out there, but when done right, they can read so sophisticated and elegant. Do Son is just that with notes of tuberose, orange blossom, and jasmine. It doesn't cross over into grandmotherly territory, which is my main issue with florals, but instead, it's fresh, green, and has a modern edge. You can score a gift card of up to $200 when you purchase this thorugh Neiman Marcus, also!
"Dipytque's signature scents are made even more elegant and refined when paired with this stunning hourglass diffuser. With 34 Boulevard Saint Germain—the scent you're confronted with when you walk into a Diptyque store—you're getting a robust, full-bodied fragrance featuring fresh green notes great for any season. And it's refillable, so, it really is the gift that keeps on giving (for an hour at a time)." — Alicia Lutes, Freelance Writer
"I'm going to be honest with you, I don't know what some of the scents in this lotion are—Immortelle floral water? Petitgrain?—but I do know that I love sweet almond oil and Virginia cedar, and Roman chamomile floral water and sesame oil also sound like a nice way to round them out." — Alicia Lutes
Personally, I find that the pinnacle of self-care is lighting a luxurious candle and curling up on the couch to read a book, but the candle itself has a lot to do with the mood. I always achieve peak coziness when I light up Feu de Bois. This scent is like having a bonfire in your own home—cozy, warm, smokey, and a touch spicy all wrapped up into one long-lasting candle, so it's the perfect burn for winter days.
Diptyque's take on musk fragrance is one I can actually get behind. Some fresh and clean perfumes just smell like laundry detergent, which I am so not a fan of. But while Fleur de Peau does have that powdery scent, it's not cloying or overpowering. Think of a vintage book shop and you get Fleur de Peau, and I mean that in the best way possible. Plus, you get a $50 gift card when you buy this perfume at Neiman Marcus right now, so it's basically on sale for less than $200.
"I love the scent of figs so much. It's so sensual and warm, mysterious yet welcoming. If I were to have a signature scent (I don't because I love changing things up every season), it would absolutely be heavily fig-based. Which is what I love about Figuier. And, well, to have a diffuser filled with the stuff would certainly be a gift I'd like to receive this year." — Alicia Lutes
When I heard this was the very same scent that filled Diptyque's stores, my interest was immediately piqued. The fragrance is so distinct and inviting, who wouldn't want to replicate that into their own homes? The fact that this candle burns for a whopping 90 hours and comes in a minimalist chic jar means that it just shot straight up to the top spot on my Christmas wishlist. And yes, you also get a $50 gift card with this candle at Neiman Marcus!
This sexy scent contains notes of wood and smoke, so it's a perfect set-the-mood type candle for your apartment (and it's on sale for 15 percent off.)
"Few scents are as reliably enjoyable as the Ambre candle. It's elegant and refined, with warm wood, vetiver, and patchouli wrapping around a bouquet of spices, incense, rockrose, and tonka bean. If feeling like a luxurious woman is the vibe you're after, this candle is the answer. It's the perfect wintertime accessory for anyone on your list. At the end of the day, don't we all just want to feel a little bit fancier and cozier this holiday season? So go ahead and get the candle. It's a necessity, darling." — Alicia Lutes
"This is the room spray I use. I spray a few spritzes into my living room and kitchen right after I've finished cooking or a few minutes before my guests arrive to make my apartment smell even more clean and fresh. It's lightweight and doesn't give me a headache. I've had the bottle for months and I'm not even close to running out—the formula is super potent without being too much." — Julia Marzovilla Fashion E-Commerce Editor
"Let this on-sale scent transport you to a luxury Italian beach (even in the dead of winter.) Notes of orange blossom and beeswax give you the ultimate summer vibe—that's why it's one of my personal favorites to light when the winter weather creeps in" — Julia Marzovilla
"This recommendation goes out to all my girlies on BookTok scrolling the 'Dark Academia' tag. The mysterious, comforting ode to writing, drawing, and all things pen-to-paper, Encre's interpretation of the "ink" scent is infused with licorice and patchouli to emulate the mineral qualities found in ink. It's an alluring but divisive scent—like that bad boy librarian you know you shouldn't follow into the dark basement archives, but you're going to anyway." — Alicia Lutes
"Body and hair oil? From Diptyque? Say less! This silky oil spray sounds like exactly the sort of thing the girl I want to be would use on the daily. Made with sweet almond oil and avocado oil, and featuring jasmine, ylang-ylang, and saffron notes, this oil sounds as rich and luxurious as I would have to be to afford to use this every day." — Alicia Lutes
Everything about this fragrance is so cool and unique. Oud wood and rose paired with creamy vanilla and smokey incense aren't notes that sound like they 'go together' which is exactly what makes this fragrance interesting. Its distinctive smokey, vanilla, floral combo is sure to demand attention and its said to last all day long, so you can bet this is another fragrance on my wishlist.
Other Diptyque Products We Love
Mint is not a note I've come across in a lot of perfumes, and it's especially rare to see it as the celebrated note, so I find Eau de Minthé especially distinct. Paired with rose, patchouli, and geranium, this fragrance is fresh, green, and memorable. It's not as minty as you may think, but the mint note feels more uplifting and refreshing than anything. In typical Diptyque fashion, Eau de Minthé is long-lasting and modern and something I don't smell around me too often.
"Sometimes you just want to be transported to another time and place. Diptyque's Orpheon scent does that, taking you to Paris in the '60s. This jazzy, smoky scent is more androgynous than most, but that makes it so intoxicating. Named for the bar in Paris the creators of the company used to love to hang out at—the Orphéon—the scent is brimming with a smoky, woody base that's accented with the warmth of tonka bean and juniper berry, with a hint of jasmine at the back. It lingers and wears in such a way that you're sure to feel like the coolest, most mysterious version of yourself when you wear it." — Alicia Lutes
"'Tis the season for your home to smell like a comforting hug. And does anything feel more warming and wonderful than a candle that smells of pine, baked treats, and more? This set is a great gift option (to yourself or otherwise). Sapin (Pine) features notes of pine, resin, and cedar. Friandise (Sweet Treat) features notes of gingerbread, cinnamon, and vanilla. Star features a floral, fresh scent. Warm, calming comfort: is there anything better?" — Alicia Lutes
“I have plenty of basic traits, but my love for Diptque's Baies scent is foremost among them. This classic, beloved Diptque scent is a flowery, fruity delight, perfect for brightening up your living space and making it feel fancier than it really is.” — Jenny Hollander, Digital Director
“I am not usually a fan of rose-scented perfumes. They’re often heady and leave me feeling woozy from the fake flowery-ness. However, this one from Diptyque was the first scent that actually smelled like the flower it represents as it exists in nature. Sweet, light, delicate, and free of headache-inducing undertones.” — Julia Marzovilla
“I promised myself no more candles. My collection has grown from a casual interest to a bordering-on-hoarding obsession. I'm one forgotten wick away from burning my apartment building to the ground. But then I smelled Diptyque's Roses and began to wonder, "Hey, what's the problem with just one more candle?" The scent is wonderfully fresh and purely floral, conjuring a strong memory of wandering through your grandma's rose garden. The burn time for the 190g option is 50 hours, but if you size up to the large, the rose candle will last you for 90.” — Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor
“You know when you’re about to have people over and you want to freshen up your space last minute? That’s where this room spray comes in. After (embarrassingly) using it as a body mist for a few weeks, my fiance pointed out that it was one of his favorite scents of all time. Now, our apartment smells like it all the time. The bottle is pricey at $72, but one spritz in each room is more than enough to flood the space with the light fruity scent. Yes, it does linger in the space for hours. And no, it doesn’t get overpowering as you sit in the space over time.” — Julia Marzovilla
“I love giving (and getting) this trio as a gift. It’s got their three most popular scents (Baies is my favorite), and if the person isn’t sure what scent they want, these are the perfect trial size. They’ll burn for 50+ hours if you take good enough care of them, even though they’re small. The great thing about Diptyque scents is their softness—I am absolutely not a fan of rose scent generally, but their Roses is aromatic without being saccharine.” — Katherine Igoe, Contributing Editor
“If you could bottle the joy of the holiday season, I promise this is exactly what it would smell like. With gingerbread, vanilla, and candied orange as the star ingredients, this candle instantly warms up any room and fills me with the holiday spirit. Because it’s limited-edition, the glass jar is particularly festive with gold and red detailing. I'll burn through this the week of Christmas or wrap it up as a perfect gift under the tree." — Samantha Holender, Beauty Editor
“Is it winter? Yes. Am I still thinking about summer fragrances? Yes. This scent, launched in June 2023, is the ideal sexy summer perfume that I will 100 percent be wearing the second the weather begins to warm in the early spring—that’s how much I miss it. Scents like bergamot mingle with notes of Petitgrain, an essential oil extracted from the leaves of an orange tree, and Balsam of Peru, which is similar to a vanilla note with warm undertones and a hint of cinnamon. Plus, the gold-labeled packaging makes it an easy gift.” — Julia Marzovilla
"Do I aspire to be the sort of wealthy woman of leisure that would have a giant candle in my home? Yes, please! With any luck, I will find myself in that very position very soon (because I am manifesting winning the lottery or at least finding $500 on the ground—whatever works), and this candle will be my first purchase." — Alicia Lutes
"A little curiosity in life is always a good thing—particularly when it comes to trying out new scents. Frankly, I'm always going to be a travel-size perfume fan because I love mixing it up and keeping my fragrances on me while I travel. If you aren't sure which Diptyque scent is for you, this discovery set is the perfect gift for yourself or someone you love who needs help smelling good." — Alicia Lutes
"Nothing says 'pleasantly fresh' to me more than the smell of cypress trees bathing in the warm glow of the late summer sun. As someone who doesn't always love a 'fresh' or 'clean' forward scent, the warmer, resinous notes in Diptyque's Cypres scent make it an alluring option for anyone who's looking for that, but different." — Alicia Lutes
"Sometimes candles need to serve a utilitarian function, like cleaning up the smells in the air your charcoal filters and cleaning products cannot do, which is why we love La Droguerie. It does just that in a more vegetal/tomato-forward way, which is very appealing. A more perfect kitchen candle does not exist!" — Alicia Lutes,
"Every year, Diptyque comes out with a new holiday-adjacent scent, and this year's limited edition number is rose-fronted, but rounded out by sandalwood, mimosa, and iris, making it a richly floral number. We also love the deep blue glass, so why not give this one a try?" — Alicia Lutes
"Sometimes our shampoo does not give us the olfactory burst that we so crave. Enter: Diptyque's hair mist, filled with the freshness of orange blossom and bitter orange, rounded out with the warm woodiness of juniper berries, angelica, and patchouli." — Alicia Lutes
"I am generally obsessed with the scent of burning wood and glamorous candles. Diptyque's taper dinner candles, waxed from the tip to the base, are a winner for me. Tall, unique, and imbued with one of the brand's most beloved scents? Sign me up! Also, please excuse me while I run out to throw a dinner party specifically so I can burn these candles." — Alicia Lutes
"When the colder season comes around, my hands get dry, cracked, and generally unhappy. And Diptyque's hand wash does just that. Plus the added notes of rosemary and lavender—with hints of ylang-ylang and amber—makes for very happy hands." — Alicia Lutes
