Diptyque’s Feu de Bois fills your home with fantastic fragrance.
Now the bougie French brand wants a spot in your medicine cabinet. Its latest creation: a five-piece, plant-infused skin care collection.
Start the nighttime ritual by cleansing one of two ways: A thick, moisturizing balm melts away dirt and waterproof eye makeup with sweet almond oil and floral waxes (ylang-ylang, geranium, mimosa). Add a few drops of water to the fine-milled Radiance Boosting Powder (made with rose, jasmine, and orange blossom petals) to work up a lather.
Creamy white clay doubles as a quick exfoliating scrub or ten-minute mask (rice and oat powders slough dead skin; apricot kernel oil replenishes moisture).
Infused Facial Water tones and hydrates with a mixture of nine plants and flowers (damask rose, chamomile, peppermint, verbena). Taking the term multitasker to the extreme, a few squirts of the vitamin-enhanced treatment turn the cleansing balm into a lotion, the powder cleanser into a cream, the clay into a liquid, and prep the skin to absorb the Protective Moisturizing Lotion (calendula, orange blossom, rose).
The company stamps its signature labels with apothecary-like illustrations.
We smell a winner.
Available at diptyqueparis.com, $55-$72.
