Product Insights & Style Tips

Diptyque’s Sésame Noir Classic Candle conjures an incense-lit apartment—think rain on the fire escape, studio windows cracked open, and the low, golden light of dusk. The wax blend glows soft and even, carrying that unmistakably warm, spicy haze: toasted black sesame seeds meet woody depths and the buttery, roasted edge of hazelnut. Every flicker brings a textured, nuanced backdrop, the kind of scent that feels both quietly lush and unexpectedly bold, never typical, always lingering like a favorite record replayed on Sunday mornings.

This Diptyque candle fits beautifully on a side table or bookshelf, the glass vessel turning into sculpture as dusk sets in. The size feels intimate but impactful, enveloping a room in layers of aroma without overpowering—it’s more background music than spotlight. With up to 50 hours of burn time, it invites you to linger, making every evening stretch a little further. The fragrance radiates gently, working just as well to ground your routine solo or to set the vibe before friends arrive. Layer it alongside other Diptyque staples on a tray for that effortless Parisian-insider curation, or let Sésame Noir stand alone, its dark, spicy richness quietly redefining the mood.

Beauty Trends & Makeup Tips

Canyon Waves Are The Effortless Summer Hair Trend

There’s nothing like embracing bohemian beauty in the summer, and this season’s standout hairstyle is the perfect partner in crime. Canyon waves are an undone texture that looks like you spent the day wandering through California wildflower fields with the wind in your hair. Coined by celebrity hairstylist and RŌZ founder Mara Roszak, the technique feels polished but naturally so – think beach waves, but softer and far more refined. We love how canyon waves mimic naturally textured hair, creating movement and dimension without looking overly styled or set. While a bit of effort is required if your hair is naturally straight, the technique is surprisingly simple and well worth mastering for warm-weather hair you don’t have to think twice about.

Cool Down This Summer With Bright Blue Eyeshadow

Nostalgia is winning again in both beauty and fashion, and we’re seeing a rise in sky blue eyeshadow. As we search for playful ways to brighten our makeup routines for warmer months, the retro shade has been spotted everywhere from Zara Larsson and Laufey to countless runway shows. The difference between today’s take and the frosty versions of decades past? It’s infinitely more wearable. Modern blue makeup focuses on softer washes of color rather than heavily saturated icy lids. For proof, look no further than Florence Pugh, who recently stepped out in a dreamy blue eye look that’s both statement-making and sophisticated.

The Secret to Reapplying SPF Without Ruining Your Makeup

By now, most of us know that daily SPF application is one of the most important steps in any longevity-focused skincare routine. What many people don’t realize, however, is that sunscreen should be reapplied throughout the day and not just applied once in the morning. This becomes especially important during the summer months when we spend more time outdoors. Before you dismiss the idea because it might ruin your makeup, hear us out! Beauty innovation has come a long way, and there are now plenty of ways to reapply SPF without smudging, streaking, or disrupting your glam.
