Picture this: The lighting is dim. A glass of scotch sits in the corner. There’s a musky hint of tobacco from a nearby patron intently watching the saxophone player on stage. Usually, the acrid scent is too strong, but a hint of woodsy warmth from the oak table where you're sitting makes it feel cozy. It sounds like a sensory experience only found in a '60s Parisian jazz club—but it’s the precise scent you’ll find when you walk into my New York City apartment in the year 2025.
The moody, sexy smell I'm currently burning nonstop is made possible by Diptyque’s new Narguilé and Genévrier (Juniper) Small Candle Duo, which launched today, Feb. 19. It feels counterintuitive, but the luxury candle duo is designed to be lit in tandem. The smoky spice of Narguilé blends with the fruity, bitter, almost gin-like smell of Genévrier to create an aroma that’s equal parts seductive and intoxicating.
