The candle is still sold in America, though it's usually only sold in the boutiques. Yes, the room spray is still available in Europe, but it's been unavailable in America for many years. The candle is a collaboration — Diptyque has to have a licensing agreement to use the John Galliano name — so LVMH should be able to come to an agreement to use it for promotion of the relaunched brand. The Essence of John Galliano candle was pushed to the back of the collection (and rechristened "Essence of J.G.") after the 2011 scandal, so I'm sure Diptyque would be happy to see a former top-selling product revived.It still exists…In France at least. There’s a spray version too.
But it’s for Diptyque so it’s not like he can just make it a fragrance.
John’s own campaigns have always be tragic and the whole marketing around his own house has always been questionable.
His aesthetic for his own house has never been « easy » and the very ugly licenced products and diffusion lines didn’t helped in terms of perception.
But yes, I think with the proper positioning he can comeback in the world of fragrances. Mutiny for Margiela was good and he did worked in Russia after his dismissal from Dior for a beauty brand if I remember well.
I hope that he will be able to negotiate some kind of partial ownership on his own brand though.
John Galliano launched perfumes from 2008 to 2013, and yet the Diptyque candle is still around. The Galliano fragrances didn't really make much of a splash, and one used to be able to buy for next-to-nothing online a few years ago. I never saw the Galliano perfumes for sale anywhere except the Garment District wholesalers, but they're long gone from there now, too...It is still there:
Better stock up, because if LVMH were to launch JG perfumes, they would discontinue the Dyptique licence (and Dyptique does not belong to LVMH, yet).John Galliano candle | Diptyque Paris

To be fair, Galliano's fragrance license was held by Selective Beauty, a lower-tier company that also put out Trussardi, Sonia Rykiel, Benetton, Mauboussin, and the like. I don't think the company even exists now. They weren't necessarily bad, but he didn't have a powerhouse like P&G Prestige, Estée Lauder, Shiseido, etc., backing him up. That's why Galliano got this...Even his perfume bottle is overdesigned. Chill out, John.
Galliano en Dior... Burton en Givenchy... Estoy listo para la extravagancia y la opulencia. No más lujo tranquilo, por favor, deja que el lujo sea ruidoso y orgulloso 😂
Oh LVMH has grown accustomed to not so great sales. Look at how they have cut corners at brands like Moynat…The only place I want to see him go is back to his namesake. Dior or Fendi make absolutely no sense, I am genuinely confused how his name came up for those spots. Galliano’s hyper-intellectual dramatics will not translate to the sales LVMH has grown accustomed to from these brands. If he retired that would be even better…
Which translate in engagement in Social Media but doesn’t necessarily in clothes people would die to wear.
am i the only one getting tired of designers leaving -or being fired- every other month? at this point, we are all numb and basically desensitized to the fate of most fashion designers. not only are significant houses without any creative directors at the moment, such as chanel or givenchy for instance, several talented designers also happen to be jobless. i'm starting to think that perhaps they are sick of fashion, too, and would rather not engage with it. what's exciting about galliano leaving and going to another corporate brand? he will turn 64 in november and i can't help but think that young talents are constantly ignored when it comes to key appointments. this means that the same old names keep circulating from one brand to another and there isn't any renewal in fashion. at the same time, the spectacle revels in drama and speculation, because it makes shock headlines while concealing the simple fact that fashion has never been as unchallenging and predictable as it is today. there's just one thing you have to bear in mind: talking about the clothes is démodé right now, and the spectacle will hardly tolerate it. give us some more virginies and johns, while experienced studio assistants like peter hawkings can't even hang on to their job for an actual year. nevermind the human cost of it all: this is great entertainment for the ruthless spectacle that fashion has become, and a necessary diversion that prevents us from considering the real challenge our industry is facing: most designer collections look exactly the same and we are drained by the lack of creativity -and originality- which defines the times we are in. it truly is the same old scene, and expect more nostalgia to come as a result.
