There's something to be said about the power of a candle — nothing else can create that calm, serene feeling quite like burning your favorite, intoxicating scent. And, when it comes to candles, Diptyque is the epitome of casa crack. So, when we got wind of the brand's new sample sale, we seriously stocked up — we're talking gifts for every occasion, and of course, a little somethin' somethin' for ourselves, too. (Literally, we left with a 20-pound bag.)
The sale, which kicks off today, boasts markdowns on the line's entire collection. Yes, we said entire. Mini candles will go for $12, the standard size is priced at $30 (uh, they retail for $60!), and the large candles will be $45 (be sure to beeline to the back right for those stunning, oversized black Baies babies). Sure, that may still seem a little high, but we didn't even know Diptyque ever went on sale. Stop pinching yourself, and start running.
When: Wednesday, February 27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday, February 28, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday, March 1, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
