Feu De Bois & Musc

I am not usually a fan of masculine scents. When I choose candles they always have a mellow sweetness to them. When I was in the Diptyque store in notting hill (I ran in due to a unexpected downpour) I walked around awakwardly sniffing each candle. I came across Feu De Bois. All of the candles in diptyque are usually white or cream but this one was a purple/grey so stood out to me. It smelt smoky and almost like a bonfire (Feu de Bois is translated to Fire in English). However I unexpectedly found it appealing. It wasn't too overwhelming but still very strong. It had a very distinct autumn cosy feel to it.

Another candle I favoured was Musc. It reminded me of Christmas, the usual orange-clove-ginger however not as abrasively fruity.It was more multi seasonal rather than festive.

If it were to be paired alongside Musc, It would achieve the most perfect autumnal scent. The deep woodynness alongside the slightly mellower woodynness  would be the perfect mix. All I need to do is justify spending £80 on candles.
