For a lot of people, Diptyque makes the quintessential “status candle”: storied, French, and housed in a glass cup that's beautiful enough to have a second life as a desktop pen holder long after the wax is gone. It also smells pretty fantastic. In short, the hype is real. Vetyver is herbal and woody, the scent of vetiver roots burned in Southeast Asian temples. The fragrance is great on its own, but Diptyque also suggests layering scents by lighting a couple of varieties at once for a more complex, that-smells-so-good-but-what-is-it effect. This one pairs nicely with Geranium Rosa.
