The Newbie - Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint German candle

Diptyque has been made super popular by some of the big beauty bloggers and with good reason. The company started small concentrating on boutique fragrances that are said to be nothing like anything on the market. So when I saw that Hautelook were hosting Diptyque for half price I figured I could splurge a bit. This purchase was made in Feb 2013, but I wanted to try the candle a few times before reviewing it, to give you guys my true opinion.

I love candles and this is one of the nicest I have ever used. When I smelt it for the first time, I was surprised with how woody and masculine the scent was and I thought I might not like it since I usually prefer florals and fresh scents. But on one summer evening I lit it for the first time, and I was so amazed at the warm spicy scent which was woody but but floral at the same time! It filled my apartment with an amazing aroma and I felt like I was in an upscale spa somewhere. I wanted to save it for special occasions but I think I love it too much so will light it often. Have you tried any of the Diptyque scents? Which one's your favourite?

I think I am going to use the jar as a brush holder, something I have done with the Saint Parfum scented candles too.. another favourite brand of mine :)
