"Your Diptyque candle is an exceptional artisanal creation and deserves the utmost care. Here are some tips to optimize its lifespan and ensure safe use.
Preparing the space
- Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a base or tray.
- Keep candles away from flammable materials.
- Store candles out of reach of children and pets.
Lighting the candle
- We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid burns.
- When lighting for the first time, ensure the candle burns until an even layer of liquid wax has formed (approximately 4 hours, depending on the fragrance). This prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick to absorb the wax properly, ensuring an even burn. Wicks may produce a small amount of smoke upon first lighting.
While burning
- After the first lighting, do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Do not move a burning or still hot, unlit candle.
- Keep it away from drafts.
- Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) between two candles.
After each use
- Extinguish the flame: Use a candle snuffer to avoid hot wax splatters.
- Re-center the wick as soon as the candle is extinguished.
- Trim the wick with a wick trimmer before relighting your candle (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm / â…› to â…• inch) to prevent fire hazards.
Final note
- Discontinue use of your candle once only 5 mm (â…• inch) of wax remains or the metal wick clip 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 avoid discoloration, pigment changes, or wax separation."
As a result of exceptional savoir-faire and craftsmanship, the art of perfumery meets the expertise of candle manufacturing. Each candle is made from a blend of several types of wax and a high-quality fragrance concentrate, as well as a carefully selected wick, guaranteeing perfect scent diffusion and combustion. This handcraft is carried out in two workshops near Paris and in Provence by experienced master wax-makers.
