[affiliate/sample] I still have roses on my rose trees at the front of my house – I’m not enough of a gardener to know whether this is usual or not but I suspect perhaps not. That said, my cherry tree is flowering too so maybe spring has arrived early for us :-). Diptyque’s January smile-maker is Paris En Fleur, an absolute celebration of roses and power-packed in terms of scent, unlike my wan winter blooms.
If you like a big boom of rose, it’s for you. There is patchouli in the mix which heightens its power but doesn’t detract from that sweet and clear floral scent.
I had it burning in my kitchen yesterday infusing a joyful freshness that permeated the entire room and the surrounding two rooms – I think it’s maybe their most powerful yet or perhaps I love the scent of rose so much that I’m more attuned to it but this limited edition candle is very generous. The box and candle illustrations are a celebration of art nouveau, designed by Pierre Marie, to highlight Paris’s many architectural highlights in this style. It’s £53 for the 190g candle HERE, and there is a scented oval that might be rather lovely for the car or wardrobe. Non affiliate HERE. While I was checking stockist info on SpaceNK, I noticed a couple of extraordinary bargains – one, the REN Summer Skin Care Set HERE, down from £63 to £26.50 containing Evercalm Cleanser, Evercalm Moisturiser and Clean Screen SPF50. One to snap up and use straight away as well as By Terry Hydra Eclat Serum down from £76 to £38 HERE. In fact, there is quite a lot of notoriously expensive By Terry skin care at roughly half price.

Hi Jane. The candle looks SO pretty – but I’m trying to stop using commercial candles because I read an article in the guardian about how non-smoking women are dying of lung cancer in the UK suspected causes included inhaling more cooking fumes, cleaning product fumes and scented air products – such as candles, incense etc…..:-( Have been experimenting with clean, home scenting…..
Oh – yes, it is unusual to have roses at this time of year. I have them too – they haven’t stopped flowing since spring…..
Hi Catherine! Glad it’s not just me with roses in full flow and also hoping it’s not going to affect the summer blooming. I understand your choice :-).
That looks so lovely, and rose is beckoning me early this year. (I’m intrigued and enticed too by the new Diptyque scent, which is rose, patchouli and bergamot if I remember right.) How fab to have roses blooming now, just what January needs. Thanks for this, I might have a rose splurge immediately, for the boost it always brings.
Not one for me then Jane. Haha couldn’t resist #ifyouknowyouknow 😉
