Dating back to 1961, this French perfume house is internationally known for its fragrances, beautifully scented candles and body/ skincare products.

The CHOISYA Candle

As soon as you light the Diptyque Choisya Candle up a sensual scent of orange bursts into the room. Releasing a whole new mood and energy. The brand is known for its slow-burning candles. The waxes, as well as oils, burn evenly down to the bottom, this is a sign that your candle is healthy and doesn't waste a drop.

The bitter orange blossom has a tarty, dry fragrance that lasts for an amazing 60 hours. Moroever, this is the longest burning scented candle I have ever known! This candle can fit into any space with its 190g and simple design.

The orange blossom scent was perfect for my office and living room. I always tend to avoid citrus-scented candles in the kitchen and bathroom as mixed with other scents can make an interesting cocktail.

The main points that I noted while burning Diptyque Choisya Candle are as follows:

• Long-lasting fragrance
• A well-balanced Orange blossom scent.
• Burns evenly
• Helps relax and release
• Lastly, it is a great gift idea.

Here are a few tips & tricks I picked up on the way to keep your candle and its scent healthy:

1. Trim and Clean the Wick.

Black smoke is a signal to take a closer look at your candlewick. The ideal length is around ¼ of an inch.

2. Always take into account the size of your room or space compared to the candle. Some candles are designed for bigger rooms and others for more intimate spaces.

3. Lastly, Don't burn it for too long.

The ideal burn time is around 2h each time. So, overburning a candle can result in a waste of product and scent.

For summers, I am currently enjoying Diptyque Eau Rose Eau de Toilette for myself.

Something I immediately notice when visiting someone's house is the scent it has.

I found the perfect balance between freshness & sweetness, leaving all my guests curious. Recently I picked two products from Carriere Freres: the diffuser and candle. A difficult choice, but I ended up selecting La Rose Aime La Menthe range.

La Rose Aime La Menthe

Originally discovered in Turkey, the Damascus Rose is the heart of this range. Wrapped in fresh spearmint, it offers a vibrant character to your home. A home being shared should feel comfortable to everyone. With a feminine floral, green touch. This range is balanced out with a more masculine cold, a mint that slowly overpowers the rose.

Candle

Using vegetable scented wax from organic European rapeseed, they offer a long-lasting scent that travels through each room of the house. Not at all overpowering, they add character to your house. I just can't get enough!

Handy facts:

Weight: 185g

Dimensions: 9cm high, 7.5cm wide

I found these candles to be a good size for decor. Their burn time is approximately 40 to 45 hours. Having used mine nearly every day, it lasted one month.

Tips: Try not to burn the candles for more than 2 hours each time, this is enough fragrance for the day. Also, burn them until the entire surface has liquefied and always protect the surface on which the candle rests.

Diffuser

This product is high on the sustainability list, using rattan sticks, a recyclable cork stopper, and 100% recyclable glass. Offering a continuous diffusion of perfume compared to the candle. I use this product in my hallways and bathroom. Flip the sticks every 4-5 days for a regular scent.

Handy facts:
