Frequently asked questions
What candle should I buy for someone who has never owned a luxury candle?
Diptyque Baies is the candle that converts people. NEOM Real Luxury is the alternative for lighter, more natural scents. Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin is the evergreen crowd-pleaser that almost nobody dislikes.
How do I choose between all the Jo Malone scents?
Jo Malone scents fall into three characters: fresh-citrus (Lime Basil & Mandarin, Nectarines & Honey), floral (Peony & Blush Suede, English Pear & Freesia), and warm-woody (Dark Amber & Ginger Lily, Myrrh & Tonka). Match the direction to their home aesthetic and fragrance preferences.
What candle size should I buy as a gift?
The medium size (200–250g) is usually right for gifting — generous enough, and practical at 40–60 hours burn time. A large 300g+ candle from Diptyque or Cire Trudon in a beautiful vessel is a particularly impressive gift.
