For me, Diptyque were the ground breakers when it came to fragrancing your home. With their candles, they introduced us to new and exciting, strong but not-heady scents and quickly we became a nation of candle addicts!

This year, they are the pioneers in home fragrance again with the introduction of Le Sablier, the hourglass diffuser. This stunning, coloured glass diffuser comes in 6 different scents; Fleur d’oranger (Orange Blossom), Gingembre (Ginger), 34 boulevard Saint-Germain, Roses and Baies (Berries), and each one is just gorgeous.

With the focus on time, each Sablier takes 60 minutes for every drop of fragrance to infuse and fill its environment during which you are encouraged to take ‘an hour just for you’ and savour each moment. With mindfulness set to be the focus of 2017, the Sablier is the perfect (and prettiest) accessory for a sensory escape.
