Diptyque Baies Large Candle - Luxury Candle Gift

If you only ever gift one candle in your life, make it this one. The Diptyque Baies is arguably the most famous scented candle in the world — and once you smell it, you'll understand why it's earned that reputation.

Bulgarian roses. Green blackcurrant leaves. The feeling of walking through an English garden on a warm afternoon with something blooming around every corner. It's fresh, it's romantic, and it fills a room without overwhelming it.

This is the large version — 60 hours of burn time. Enough to become part of someone's evening ritual for months.

The Story Behind Baies

A friend of Diptyque's three founders was working in her English garden when she noticed something irresistible — blooming roses tangling with wild blackcurrant bushes, their scents merging into something neither could achieve alone. That moment became Baies, and it's been one of the most loved fragrances in the world ever since.

The name Diptyque itself comes from 'diptych' — a painting on two hinged panels. Their original store at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris had two large display windows flanking the entrance, like an opened diptych. Three friends. Two windows. One iconic brand.

Why the Large Candle?

The standard Diptyque is lovely. But the large Diptyque Baies candle is the gift that makes someone gasp. It has presence on a coffee table, mantelpiece, or bathroom shelf. It lasts for months. And it says "I really thought about this" in a way a standard size simply can't.

60 hours means this isn't a candle that disappears after a few evenings. It becomes a fixture — the scent they associate with their home.

Candle Care Tips

• First burn: Let the wax melt evenly to the edges to prevent tunnelling
• Wick trimming: Keep the wick at ¼ inch before each burn
• Burn time: Maximum 4 hours per session to keep the wick clean
