CANDLES
This year’s Citrouille interpretation layers the familiar richness of pumpkin with uplifting spices and the sweetness of vanilla. The result is a scent that feels both indulgent and inviting, cheering in its brightness, yet soothing in its warmth. Diptyque positions the fragrance as an olfactory story of seasonal transition, capturing the intimacy of a home filled with light and comfort as autumn settles in.
The composition introduces three distinct expressions of gourmand notes. Pumpkin is baked with spice, hazelnuts radiate warmth as if roasted by a fire, and quince jelly adds a tangy, golden brightness. Together, these accords create a fragrance profile that moves between savory richness and sweet indulgence, evoking the sensory experience of fall gatherings and seasonal delicacies.
Behind each Citrouille candle lies a meticulous process that demands months of preparation. Around ten separate steps are required to complete production, some of which remain artisanal in nature. Among them are hand-adjusting and centering the wicks after the wax is poured, as well as cutting the wick to an exact height. A key detail in the process involves carefully managing the wax temperature, allowing it to rest and stabilize while still in a liquid state. This attention ensures both the performance and character of the finished candle.
With Citrouille, Diptyque offers a fragrance experience that bridges the sensory pleasures of taste, scent, and atmosphere. Combining pumpkin, spice, hazelnut, and quince with artisanal craftsmanship, the candle is a limited-edition treasure designed to enrich the rituals of fall before it disappears once more with the season’s close.
