It used to be that only the super-rich and fashion set knew about Diptyque candles. That all changed when, several years ago, The Smoking Gun revealed that Jennifer Lopez's contractual rider demanded that Diptyque -- and only Diptyque -- candles be placed in her dressing room. The brand quickly became synonymous with self-indulgence.

Then, suddenly, your tropical fruit scented candle in a jar started to seem terribly un-chic in comparison. But, unless you had about 60 bucks to blow on one of Diptyque's high-quality creations, all you could do was wish that some rich, fashionable friend would gift you one.

Well, not anymore.

For the first time ever, Diptyque is rolling out a smaller version of its top-selling scents at an equally shrunken price -- $28 each. They'll be available at Diptyque stores and online in the near future at Space NK.

Choose from the following rich, complicated scents: Gardenia (a rich white floral), Jasmin (a sweet floral), Mimosa (a French yellow flower), Baies (berries and Bulgarian rose) and Figuier (fig), which starred on Lopez's list. Plus, new scents are rolling out this fall.

While it's true, you are getting less wax for the new petite price, the candles do have a way of throwing their gorgeous scents further than the average pillar. Burn yours for an hour, blow it out, and voila, you've totally classed-up the joint.
