Light the flame...

This year, diptyque glorifies the rose, with a candle specially created for the occasion in a limited edition, bearing the sweet name of Rosa Mundi.

A name that sounds like... an ancient rose, descendant of the famous Damask rose... and a love story that has become a myth over the centuries. According to the legend, the name of this variety was inspired by Rosamund Clifford, a woman of great beauty, and mistress to King Henry II of England Known as Rosamund the Fair, or Rose of the World, in 1176 she was poisoned by Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry’s Queen, who was madly jealous of her. Devastated by grief, and forever inconsolable, the King wished to commemorate the woman he had loved so much So on every anniversary of their meeting, he demanded that her grave be covered in this particular variety of rose.

A surprising scent... soothing, romantic and sparkling.

At the heart of the fragrance are two of the most precious flowers in perfumery: the Centifolia rose (or Rose de Mai) and the Damask rose, exceptional ingredients with rich, opulent notes The olfactory composition of the candle is designed to celebrate the multiple aromas of the rose in its natural state, as it blossoms over time.

Blackcurrant and bergamot bring a fresh, sparkling flourish to the top note, tempered by the fruity note of lychee, which accentuates the petal sensation. Geranium and hedione also accentuate the natural freshness of the flower, while the base notes contain rounded, woody white musk, the leathery, mossy accord a seductive setting.

To make this candle an exceptional gift, diptyque has given it a totally new packaging and graphic design The original case combines two modes of graphical expression particular to the brand: the black ink design and the furnishing fabric, which have strong roots in the company’s origins.

The Palladianmotif on the background is displayed here in soft pink and mauve shades As a final touch, ink-drawn petals swirl around the four sides of the case, giving the rose a new burst of aromas. The white lacquered glass is in the famous oval shape, but on this occasion is enveloped in an armful of pale pink roses with velvety petals and delicate foliage traced in black ink a genuine decorative object that will look delightful in your lounge, bedroom or bathroom, a real work of art.

To celebrate 85 years of Erno Laszlo the most luxurious collection was created. Inspired from none other then Erno Laszlo's five most famous and iconic muses.

It's a New Year, which means better eating habits. How you yearn to turn back the hands of time and erase last year’s holiday over indulgences. When it comes to appearance it’s not just about keeping off the pounds, as certain past holiday drinks can affect your skin. Board certified dermatologist Dr. Rebecca Baxt provides the top 5 beverages to avoid that can do more harm than good to your skin this winter.

Hot Chocolate

The comforting taste of hot chocolate is perfect for this year’s harsh winter weather. But—it is not so perfect for your skin, especially for chocolate sensitive patients with acne or rosacea. Containing dairy and sugar, heat and chocolate, can be trouble for the skin. There are ways to customize your hot chocolate and make it more skin-friendly.

Recommendation: Instead of whole milk, use nonfat milk to make your hot chocolate. Settle for a mix low in sugar, and don't drink it scalding hot, settle for warm chocolate instead!

Apple Cider

Nothing screams fall like apple cider. Though apple cider contains nutritional benefits, it contains a lot of sugar. Drinks that are high in sugar are a big no-no when it comes to youthful skin. Sugars have a glycemic effect, and can cause break outs in sugar sensitive patients.

Recommendation: Try organic unsweetened apple cider to avoid high sugar intake.

Alcoholic Beverages

With the recent holidays and celebrating the New Year, you may have gotten into the habit of a drink with dinner. But ringing in the New Year with an alcoholic beverage at hand can result in dehydrated skin. And with various sodas as mixers to compliment your favorite alcoholic drink, throwing caffeine and sugar in the mix does more harm to the skin. And—don’t be fooled by sugar-free drinks. Some sugar-free sodas contain sodium which causes puffiness of the skin.

Recommendation: It is better to steer clear of alcoholic beverage. But if you must, clear alcoholic beverages affect the skin less than caffeinated or highly sugary drinks. And make sure to rehydrate your body by drinking lots of water.

Coffee

Caffeine-laden drinks like coffee cause a dehydrating effect on your body and therefore your skin. This can cause wrinkles to appear deeper, and can cause rosacea breakouts in some patients.

Recommendation: Try decaf coffee and steer clear of sugar and cream. Use nonfat milk instead of whole milk, and don't drink it scalding hot.
