EDITOR'S NOTE

Not far from Kyoto, in a location encouraging meditation and contemplation, stands a temple with a garden containing one hundred and twenty rare and delicate varieties of moss.

Light the Temple des Mousses ("Moss Temple") candle and be transported to magical Japanese Zen garden, calm and pristine. Reflect in a moment of solace.

60 years after the first DIPTYQUE candle, a new chapter begins with the Maison's first Refillable Scented Candles.

The collection “Les Mondes de DIPTYQUE” (“The Worlds of DIPTYQUE”) takes you on a fragrant soulful journey to little-known extraordinary places. A saga in 5 volumes, each candle expresses the history of the location it embodies in its scent. Each candle opens a doorway to a different, faraway world. It's an opportunity to enjoy an interlude outside time itself, spent in exploration of beauty.

Each of these candles have been crafted to last through multiple lifetimes, and can easily be refilled with your scent of choice—so the journey never ends.
