I love Diptyque candles and room sprays. They are luscious to say the least.
However, my favorite store was out of them. Big hit I assume.
So I looked on Amazon and Walmart. I couldn’t believe the prices, especially at Walmart. They wanted $38 more per bottle than anyone!
So I went directly to the Diptyque website and bought them two days ago. Normal price and free standard shipping. They arrived in two days!
It pays to shop around. This room spray smells divine! Going to check out their perfume and oils soon.

Sheesh - you'd have to wonder how a middle man like Amazon and Walmart could get away with upcharging it that much more - unbelievable. Well you were smart to go straight to the source. Do you have a favorite scent in that collection?

@DianneN I know. Companies can get away with upselling, because people won't try to shop around or know that if possible getting it direct from the source is cheeper.

Glad you could get what you wanted and I agree you have to shop around, I have mostly ordered from Amazon when there are some things I want but their prices seem to be going up and up.

@RasmaSandra I’ve never been to either. To be honest, I don’t mind spending more for food, but was fuming at what Walmart was charging for those sprays.

Since the new owners took over here we are not allowed to light candles!!! I understand their logic--a couple of elders started fires in their apartment but......

I remember. They both showed up a couple of years ago when my brother became dehydrated. It was some scene and embarrassing!

interesting that Walmart wanted so much more. I wonder if that is a low selling item (they are all about volume)!

Surprised Walmart would be so expensive...I guess you never know. Glad you were able to find them at a decent price elsewhere.
