I don’t know about you, but I cannot believe that January is almost over, and February, with its twin celebrations of Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year are going to be upon us very soon! How? How did this happen? Where did the time go?!<\/p>\n

It it then opportune that I share with you a new limited edition offering from perfumers and candle makers – Diptyque Rose Delight<\/strong>. I just attended the press launch a few days ago, and it’s already available on shelves, and looks to sell out. These pretty ones always do! LOL! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

But I also wanted to share with you something a little more enduring – Tips on caring for your scented candle!<\/strong> Now, if you love scented candles, whether luxury or not, or if you are just starting out in the world of scented candles, then these tips will serve you well in caring for your candle \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Diptyque Rose Delight<\/h2>\n

The Diptyque Rose Delight scent is inspired by that of the sweet, Turkish Delight. A little known fact about me, is that I actually enjoy eating Turkish Delight! It is unusual, because I don’t usually eat sweets, nor do I like anything rose-scented, but for some reason, Turkish Delights delight me \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

The candle comes in 2 sizes 190g (RM309 | US$68)<\/strong> and 70g (RM189 | US$35)<\/strong>. The scent to me, smells rather light on its own. If you have a few candles burning together, the scent is a rather heady one of sweet, fresh roses, with a honeyed fragrance running through. If you were just getting one (and that’s most of us) spring for the large one, to get maximum value out of the scent. I think it will work best in a room like the bedroom, and less so in your living room. I’m skipping it, as rose scents don’t appeal to me, but I’ll have that lovely bowl of Turkish Delight please! LOL \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

What will be attractive to many also, is the beautiful paper wrapping the candle jar, designed by designer Leslie David, in the style of a Toile de Jouy. This is a type of fabric printed with little complex vignettes comprising people or landscapes. In line with the oriental nature of the scent, the scenes depicted on the Toile de Jouy design of Rose Delight draw inspiration with peacocks, swaying coconut trees and a building that looks just like the Taj Mahal – well in keeping with the theme of love! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Accompanying the Rose Delight candle is a Scented Oval (RM249 | US$50)<\/strong> that you can hang in your wardrobe to delicately scent your clothes, keeping them smelling lovely instead of musty. People also pack these into their suitcases when they travel, so your clothes smell nice when you arrive at your destination. A friend gifted me with one of these Scented Ovals a while ago, which I hang in my cupboard. I think I’ll pack it into my suitcase the next time I travel! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Another touch of luxury, which you can find exclusively at the Diptyque boutique (Pavilion KL) is Rose Delight Scented Paper (RM569 | US$70)<\/strong> you can use to line your drawers. It is imprinted with the same print, on blush pink paper, and scented liberally with the scent of Rose Delight. Use it for your lingerie drawer for that added touch of luxury.<\/p>\n

Buy it here:<\/strong> Diptyque Boutique at Pavilion KL, Ken’s Apothecary stores or online<\/a>, Diptyque online<\/a>, Net-a-Porter<\/a>, SpaceNK<\/a>, Nordstrom<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you’re planning to get flowers for Valentine’s Day for your significant other, don’t. Get them a rose-scented candle instead. It’ll cost you about the same amount of money that you’d spend on real flowers (that die!), it’ll last at least a year or more, and you get to enjoy the beautiful scent too! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Tips for caring for your scented candle<\/h2>\n

Now, if you have gone to check out the Rose Delight collection, fallen in love with the candle and brought it home, and then thought “Erm… now what? How do I care for this beautiful candle? Should I burn it?” Most of us will be loathe, as Malaysians say “So, sayang<\/em>!” or loosely translated into “What a pity!” But you see, scented candles are supposed to be burnt!<\/p>\n

Let me share with you a few tips for caring for your scented candle – not just Diptyque, but any one you own.<\/p>\n
