Miss Manhattan after temporarily moving out due to the pandemic? Longing for that Parisian trip you never got to take in the spring? Or just looking to travel the globe any way you can? We know this year has been weird, but we've just been graced with the launch of Diptyque's exclusive City Candles, which features nine collectible (and giftable, might we add) scents from Hong Kong to Paris to New York to Beverly Hills and more. The collection will be available for one week only—from September 17 to September 23 exclusively at diptyqueparis.com.

Get this: Diptyque’s City Candles are typically only available in the location they're named after, but this year since none of us are traveling, the brand is allowing shoppers a chance to finally get their hands on their city-favorites no matter where they are in the world. And if we know anything about Diptyque, it's that its candles feature some of the most sought-after scents. So, fear not: The New York candle will smell nothing like garbage. Each candle perfectly captures the fragrance of its namesake destination, so even though your passport is probably collecting dust, you'll still be able to close your eyes and pretend you're in the destination of your choice.

Each 6.5-ounce candle comes in a different color votive for even more collectibility and can be yours for $74 a pop. See all the scents below, then get clicking. We repeat: this collection is only available for seven days (or before it inevitably sells out).
