Hello from Hong Kong! ♡ I am writing this post after jetting 12 hours away from London and tugged in bed at home <3 I am so happy to be back with my family and to be spending Christmas and an entire month here in Hong Kong before having to fly back to London 🙂 Anyway – to kick off the holiday season, I decided to do a mini review on this Baies candle by Diptyque which I got during Black Friday in Selfridges when they had 20% off all Diptyque products! ♡
I purchased this candle in the mini size which usually retails for £20 🙂 Since they were having 20% off during the sales, I only ended up paying £16 – which is a bargain for anyone who has never tried a Diptyque candle before and would like to get their feet in the water 🙂 I ordered this candle online without having smelt it before in person and based my purchase purely on reviews I have read online. I am so glad that I ended up absolutely loving the candle <3 I originally purchased the Diptyque Eau Plurielle multi-use fragrance as well along with this candle but returned the fragrance as I didn’t like it enough to keep it 🙂
If you have never tried this scent before, I strongly recommend heading to a Diptyque store or a department store to give this candle a whiff 🙂 It is a slightly sweet and fruity scent that works great as a room fragrance and is perfect for the holidays. It is one of those completely non-offensive scents that is easy for anyone to like, yet unique and really sophisticated ♡ Even though this candle looks really tiny, it is incredibly potent and is enough to fill my entire living room up in less than an hour 🙂 The packaging is also adorable and I would definitely clean the candle jar up after I finish burning the entire candle so I can use it to store things like bobby pins or coins <3
I thought I would round this post up with an old school rating system out of 10 (which I did in my first ever blog post which also happened to be a candle review!) ♡
Rating for the Diptyque candle in Baies: 9.5/10
The scent is amazing – I just wish that the Baies Diptyque label is engraved rather than a sticker so it would be easier for me to wash the candle when I am done with it! Other than this – it is perfectoooo!

That is quite a bargain! I've been meaning to try Diptyque & I didn't know they sold mini candles. :]

Their mini candles are great! I'm not sure if Diptyque does sales in the States but they do them here in the UK from time to time ^v^
Oh it's such a lovely scent! Thanks for sharing.
