A Diptyque candle has long been a quiet rite of passage into adulthood. The French parfumeur, renowned for its minimalist glass vessels and black-and-white oval crest, returns this season with Citrouille—a limited edition, reimagined pumpkin scent. Here, pumpkin deepens into bright, spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and vanilla, casting a warm and irresistibly cheerful ambiance. The fragrance is an ode to fall: earthy and sweet, evoking apple-cider donuts, amber forests, and candlelit evenings. It’s the ideal gift for the friend devoted to autumn’s glow—spiced cider and roasted chestnuts flickering in the background.

November marks the centenary of Guerlain’s iconic Shalimar, first created by Jacques Guerlain.

This new amber fragrance celebrates timeless beauty, love, and craftsmanship, recast as an intense, contemporary vanilla tailored to a new generation. The bottle preserves its historic silhouette, but its logo is transformed into stacked, interlocked letters spelling SHALIMAR—a bold graphic that echoes the fragrance’s warm highlights and vanilla-driven depth. A striking evolution of a legend, it’s a gift that bridges a century of heritage with modern desire.
