Diptyque City Candles 2021: Tokyo and London

The Diptyque City Candles for 2021 have been released!

My Diptyque SA sent a message last April 20 letting me know that eight of the ten City Candles for this year are now available in Rustan's Shangri-la. (The two Cities they don't have are Paris and Seoul.) Thanks to the perpetual alphabet-soup lockdown, I have been successful at making a significant dent on my candle stash and have been meaning to resupply. This was great timing!

For obvious reasons, getting Tokyo was a foregone conclusion. Aesthetically, I was drawn to London and New York, but I just couldn't justify getting both. London won in the end because *purple* (haha) 

Lifted from the Diptyque website: 

• Tokyo - Cypress, Incense. Family: Woody.
• London - Heliotrope, Lilac, Juniper, Hyacinth. Family: Floral.

Each candle retails for Php 4,150. If you're interested in purchasing, you can get in touch with Arvin at +63 917 809 4898. Because the City Candles are always a limited release, I'm not too sure about their inventory at this point, but worth checking anyway.

If you prefer getting them in the US (and using a forwarding company), some may still be available for purchase here.
