Yes, I find the gutting of the Diptyque line to be a tragedy. Additionally, they closed their boutique in Boston. Among the many candles they discontinued is a lovely Cuir, a buttery-plush leather in the mode of Chanel Cuir de Russie or Diorling. I stocked up, and have one sitting on my desk unlit right now.
