For a fantasy-filled festive season, Diptyque invites you to explore the fairytale world of felt along with Lucy Sparrow, the Maison&rsquo;s guest artist for its holiday collection.

Drawing inspiration from the creative spirit of Diptyque and its founders&rsquo; fondness for the playful use of materials, this collaboration is an exuberant reinvention of the symbols of wintertime and the icons of the Maison in the context of a craft-based pop aesthetic.
Lucy Sparrow&rsquo;s reputation was built on installations that featured thousands of replicas of everyday objects, all hand-sewn in felt. They were bold and yet sophisticated, imposing and yet meticulous. Now, the contemporary English artist is the special guest for Diptyque&rsquo;s annual festive collection, adding a fresh chapter to the tale of the artistic collaborations so fundamental to the Maison. Known for a distinctive approach that blends art with craftsmanship and for the pop aesthetic she brings to felt, Lucy Sparrow has made this sensual, colourful material her principal medium of expression. Adding the dash of eccentricity that typifies her original works, she transforms the real world into a universe of enchantment and delight.

In this year&rsquo;s upcoming festivities, felt features prominently both as a decoration and as a material. No medium is better suited to conjuring up the spirit of childhood and the magic of Christmas. Now, felt transforms boutiques and their interiors into oases of softness, lending its colours to the holiday collection.
It goes without saying that felt can be found on Diptyque&rsquo;s three new special edition festive candles. Their scents &ndash; Sapin (Pine Tree), &Eacute;toile (Star) and Friandise (Sweet Treat) &ndash; can be identified from the dancing letters in gold type.

On the lacquered, coloured glass we find the Maison&rsquo;s emblematic label &ndash; made of felt this time, to mark the occasion. The <a href="https://cremedelacreme.shop/en/catalog/sapin-limited-edition-scented-candle-2/?item=8642" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sapin</a> (Pine Tree) fragrance, reinvented annually but always recognisable by its dark green colouring, this year emphasises the essence of Siberian pine and the resinous notes of balsam fir. It evokes fresh pine needles and a softwood tree, newly cut and ready for decoration, plus notes of cedar and Indonesian patchouli. The midnight blue <a href="https://cremedelacreme.shop/en/catalog/etoile-limited-edition-scented-candle/?item=8638" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&Eacute;toile</a> (Star) candle suggests a star twinkling in a winter sky via a woody scent that is floral and cottony, offering rosy notes blended with notes of sandalwood, mimosa and iris. The deep red of the <a href="https://cremedelacreme.shop/en/catalog/friandise-limited-edition-scented-candle/?item=8640" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Friandise</a> (Sweet Treat) candle tempts us into a mouth-watering universe. Here, gingerbread is elevated by a blend of cinnamon and star anise, of candied orange and vanilla.
