With Diptyque’s fall-scented candles, you are invited to embark on an olfactory journey through the heart of autumn, where each fragrance captures the essence of the best fall candle scents.

The Art of Choosing the Perfect Fall Scent

Diptyque has long held a place at the intersection of art and nature, and their fall candle scents are no exception.

Fall scents are a sensory gateway—an invitation to slow down and embrace the cozy pleasures of the season.

From the warm, earthy embrace of cedarwood to the sweet nostalgia of pumpkin, each candle is a crafted masterpiece, inspired by the natural world.

In autumn, the air itself is filled with the fragrance of fallen leaves, the distant crackle of a bonfire, and delicate spices. These are the scents of fall, and with each flame lit, Diptyque brings this seasonal magic into your home.

A Symphony of Fall Fragrances

To fully immerse in the season, Diptyque offers a curated selection of the best fall candle scents, each one embodying a unique facet of autumn’s charm, where nature’s beauty is captured in every note.

Noisetier (Hazel Tree):

A Woodland Reverie

The Noisetier (Hazel Tree) candle transports you to a quiet forest, where the leaves of the hazel tree shimmer in the golden light.

With Mousses (Moss), nature itself enters the room. The fragrance is a celebration of the forest floor—the moist earth, the quiet presence of ancient trees, and the whisper of leaves in the wind. It is a deeply grounding scent, one that evokes a sense of tranquility and reflection. Ideal for the bedroom or bathroom, Mousses (Moss) creates a sanctuary where the outside world falls away, leaving only the peace of nature’s rhythm.
