2. Diptyque ($295)
Founded in 1961 by three friends, this Parisian producer of burning wax was initially a printed fabrics manufacturer. Just two years later, however, they would introduce the first of what would become an extensive line of scented candles, which ultimately became their business’ primary focus. With outposts all over the world, including in Japan, Qatar, the UAE, and the United States, Diptyque offers an array of scented candles, ranging in variety from ‘standard,’ and ‘mini,’ to ‘exclusive’ and ‘outdoor.’ Fig tree and Tuberose-scented outdoor candles are by far the most expensive at $295, but are certainly large enough to last any buyer long enough to make the purchase well worth it.
