This year’s Christmas at Diptyque doesn’t start with tinsel, but at the lathe. Here, small fir trees, owls, foxes, and other forest creatures are crafted from wood, making their grand debut in the 2026 Christmas collection. The French artist Jean-Simon Roch is responsible for this whimsical scene; Diptyque invited him to design this year’s holiday collection.
Under the theme “The Enchanted Forest,” the iconic Parisian label transports us to an enchanted winter forest—with meticulous attention to detail, unique gift ideas, and, of course, plenty of alluring fragrances. Once again, the spotlight is on Sapin, Diptyque’s iconic Christmas fragrance, which comes in particularly lovely packaging this year.
Jean-Simon Roch – The Woodturning Artist
Jean-Simon Roch has a soft spot for wood and the traditional art of woodturning. His works are characterized by simple forms, unusual figures, and a healthy dose of humor. For Diptyque, he has created a whole host of imaginative forest creatures that appear on the gift packaging, candle lids, and accessories of the Christmas collection. The result is playful without being kitschy, giving this year’s editions their very own unique character.
Sapin – Christmas Smells Like Fir
What would Christmas be without the scent of a freshly cut Christmas tree? Diptyque captures exactly this special scent with Sapin. Siberian pine, resins, cedarwood, and moss come together to create a green-woody, wonderfully wintry composition. This year, the limited-edition scented candle comes in a dark green glass jar adorned with golden stars and a pretty wooden label. The classic 190-g candle also features a turned wooden lid. In addition to the scented candles in two sizes , Sapin is also available as a room spray and Scented Oval .
When Candlelight Is Set in Motion
Decorative accessories are playing a special role again this year. With the carousel and the lantern, Diptyque offers two exceptionally charming ways to showcase a classic scented candle.
Both work according to a simple yet fascinating principle: the rising heat from the candle flame sets the attachments in motion. This creates a gentle interplay of light and shadow that is projected onto the walls and the immediate surroundings.
The carousel echoes the starry sky of the enchanted forest with its sparkling details. The lantern , on the other hand, has a silhouette reminiscent of a conifer and is adorned with golden stars.
I imagine it would be absolutely beautiful, especially during the dark winter months. A little candlelight, the gentle spinning of the delicate ornaments, and perhaps the perfect scent of Sapin to go with it. That’s really all it takes for a cozy evening.
Dressed up for the occasion: Do Son, Eau Rose, and Orphéon
Of course, perfumes are a must-have in this year’s Diptyque Christmas collection. Three of the brand’s popular creations have been given a particularly lovely makeover for the holidays: Do Son, Eau Rose , and Orphéon.
The Eaux de Parfum are available in limited editions featuring black wooden elements and gold accents. An elegant, festive design that blends beautifully with the collection’s overall concept.
Do Son pays homage to the tuberose and captivates with opulent white blossoms and airy freshness. Eau Rose is dedicated to the queen of flowers and reinterprets the rose with green, aromatic accents. Orphéon, on the other hand, evokes the Parisian nightlife of the 1960s with its elegant, powdery-woody composition. Three very different fragrances that, in their limited-edition bottles, make excellent Christmas gifts.
Diptyque’s Gift Sets: Little Treasures
If you don’t want to commit to a single fragrance, the Christmas collection offers a variety of gift sets that invite you to explore and discover new scents.
