There is something comforting about the way in which late summer segues gently into autumn, and shorter, cooler days lend themselves to the cosy comforts of home. Now, thanks to Maison Diptyque's new holistic body care collection, you can create your very own spa experience in the sanctuary of your bathroom.
Rooted in ancient Greek and Roman bathing philosophies, Les Rituels de Soin features fragrant candles, body washes, oils and beauty accessories. House perfumer Nathalie Cetto created the scent at the heart of the collection, with each piece designed for an energising start to the day or a soothing wind-down at night.
Morning rituals begin with the flicker of the Le Matin classic candle, followed by a spot of body brushing. The Nurturing Cleansing Gel, £59, made from a blend of bergamot, green mandarin and neroli, cleanses the body and also doubles as a moisturising shampoo. Later, relax with the Le Soir candle’s soft glow and chamomile notes, £63, while the Relaxing Oil-in-Oil, £59, nurtures the skin and restores suppleness with its blend of two oils: hazelnut and sweet almond.
Other highlights include an oval-shaped toiletry bag, a stand-up mirror in a handcrafted wooden box and a ceramic apothecary jar to store cotton balls and brushes. The lacquered oval tray featuring a leafy illustration by Julie Serre is perfect for displaying your pampering essentials and admiring them from the tub.
