We’re excited to announce the next giveaway for our subscribers and this one is for a $100 gift card to one of the top luxury fragrance brands- Diptyque! If you’ve seen some of my candle recommendations then you know I love candles and fragrance. My love of candles started when I was a college student and I wandered into an Anthropologie store about 15 years ago (if you’ve ever been in one then you know they smell AMAZING thanks to all of the candles). I started collecting candles and even learned how to make my own. But when I entered my motherhood era I became really sensitive to candle fragrances and mostly stopped using them. Recently I lit up the Voluspa Spiced Pumpkin Latte candle and I was shocked by not only how cozy my house felt, but how much it elevated my mood. That reignited my love of candles and I’ve been obsessed with finding the perfect signature scent for my home ever since. There are so many amazing brands, but one of our favorites here at The Real Chic Life is Diptyque. As the days get shorter and the chill of winter settles in, there’s nothing more inviting than the soft glow and intoxicating aroma of a Diptyque candle. Renowned for their sophisticated blends and luxurious craftsmanship, Diptyque candles are perfect for creating a cozy winter atmosphere. You can find our top 3 winter recommendations below, but first, here’s how to enter our giveaway:
Make sure you’re subscribed to The Real Chic Life Blog and leave a comment on this article telling us your favorite candle scent or which Diptyque candle you’d like to try. That’s it! A winner will be chosen randomly on January 18, 2025, and after checking to make sure that the winner is a subscriber, the winner will receive a Diptyque e-gift card for the value of $100. Terms and conditions are listed below.
Now, here are our top 3 recommendations for Diptyque candles to burn all winter:
1. Feu de Bois (Wood Fire)
Scent Profile: Smoky, Woody, Earthy
Nothing embodies the essence of winter quite like the smell of a crackling fireplace. Feu de Bois masterfully captures that nostalgic warmth with its smoky, woodsy notes reminiscent of burning logs. It’s rich, grounding, and instantly transports you to a rustic cabin in the woods. Perfect for evenings by the fire (even if you don’t have a fireplace), this candle evokes both elegance and raw nature, making it a staple for cold-weather ambiance.
Best For: Cozy nights in, reading by the fire, or adding a rustic touch to your home.
2. Ambre (Amber)
Scent Profile: Warm, Spicy, Resinous
Amber is a quintessential winter scent, and Diptyque’s Ambre candle highlights it in all its glory. Its notes of rich spices, woods, and balmy resins envelop your space with an inviting warmth. The balance between sweet and spicy gives it a seductive, almost mysterious vibe. Light this one on a chilly night to create a cozy, luxurious atmosphere.
Best For: Intimate dinner parties, relaxing evenings with a glass of wine, or enhancing the warmth of a living space.
3. Vanille (Vanilla)
Scent Profile: Sweet, Creamy, Woody
Vanilla is a classic winter scent, but Diptyque elevates it with unexpected depth. Unlike cloyingly sweet vanilla scents, this one has a more refined, almost smoky character. It blends the creamy warmth of vanilla with subtle woody notes, resulting in a complex, luxurious fragrance. It’s soft, soothing, and perfect for creating a calm, serene atmosphere on a snowy day.
Best For: Bedrooms, self-care rituals, and creating a cozy, spa-like retreat at home.
Diptyque candles are more than just home fragrances — they are an experience. Each of these winter-ready scents offers something unique, from the rustic charm of Feu de Bois to the grounding warmth of Vanille. Whether you’re seeking warmth, freshness, or understated elegance, Diptyque candles will make your winter days feel a little more magical.
Thanks in advance for entering and good luck!
