For a lot of people, Diptyque makes the quintessential "status candle": storied, French, and housed in a glass cup that's beautiful enough to have a second life as a desktop pen holder long after the wax is gone. It also smells pretty fantastic. In short, the hype is real. Cypres is the woody, green scent of cypress trees, with a faint honeyed sweetness to it. The fragrance is great on its own, but Diptyque also suggests layering scents by lighting a couple of varieties at once for a more complex, that-smells-so-good-but-what-is-it effect. This one pairs nicely with Figuier.
