As a result of exceptional savoir-faire and craftsmanship, the art of perfumery meets the expertise of candle-making. Each candle is made from a blend of several types of wax and a high-quality perfume concentrate, as well as a specially selected wick that guarantees perfect fragrance diffusion and combustion. Handcrafted by experienced master wax makers in two workshops near Paris and in Provence.

Your Diptyque candle is an exceptional handcrafted creation and deserves the utmost care. Here are some tips to maximize its lifespan and ensure safe use.

Preparing the room

• Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
• Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a candle holder or tray.
• Keep candles away from flammable materials.
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

Lighting the candle

• We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid burns.
• When lighting the candle for the first time, make sure to let it burn until an even layer of liquid wax has formed (approx. 4 hours, depending on the scent). This prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick to properly absorb the wax, ensuring even burning. Wicks may produce a small amount of smoke when first lit.

While burning

• After the first lighting, do not let the candle burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Do not move a burning candle or a candle that is still hot but not burning.
• Keep it away from drafts.
• Leave at least 10 cm of space between two candles.

After each use

• Extinguish the flame: Use a candle snuffer to avoid hot wax splatters.
• Recenter the wick as soon as the candle has gone out.
• Before relighting your candle, trim the wick with a wick trimmer (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to prevent fire hazards.

Final Note

• Do not use your candle once only 5 mm of wax remains or the metal wick holder becomes visible.

Care & Storage

• We recommend ventilating the room after burning a candle.
• Allow the wax to cool completely before moving your candle.
• Store it in a dry, temperate place (15 °C–25 °C / 59 °F–77 °F), protected from direct sunlight, to prevent discoloration, changes in pigment, or the wax from peeling off.
