I got my hands on the Diptyque Summer Advent Calendar

Some of the products included are full sized but still very travel friendly which is what we all need for summer holidays. The £235 price point may seem steep at first glance – but it’s essentially £23.50 per product which isn’t. K Bad in my opinion, especially since they are all Diptyque products that are beautiful, high quality and known to be on the higher end of the spectrum.

Even though this is the first I’ve heard of Diptyque’s summer advent calendar, it turns out it’s not the first time the brand has done something like this in recent years. But I must admit they have managed to fly under my radar so far.

Every year, the box has a different design that is a work of art in its own right, this year included. For this summer collection, Diptyque partnered with mosaic artist Mathilde Jonquiere who created a design inspired by the concept of a water garden (Water garden) paved with multicolored, stones arranged in beautiful patterns. It’s Mathilde’s mosaic pattern that covers both the exterior and interior of the summer calendar, which is also fitted with a black leather and brass carry strap and closure tab.

The calendar comes in a Diptyque branded dust bag which is a lovely touch and the attention to detail is again very Diptyque. I have one of these dust bags, it hangs in my bathroom and collects my skincare and makeup empties meant for recycling.

I love the idea of ​​making your chosen summer period a little more special with a calendar like this – maybe you can use it as a countdown to your next holiday to make the wait a little sweeter and more bearable. It’s definitely a splurge but if you’re looking to treat yourself or a loved one, I highly recommend the Summer Essentials calendar.
