The Herbarium of Blooms
A delicate, captivating scent, crowned with a pinch of pepper. Just as blooming freesias herald spring, this candle brings an intoxicating freshness to the atmosphere – a sign of impending beauty.
"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 room
- Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a coaster 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 for the first time, make sure to let the candle burn until a uniform layer of liquid wax has formed (approx. 4 hours, depending on the scent). This prevents tunneling of the wax and allows the wick to properly absorb the wax, ensuring an even burn. 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 or still hot, unlit candle.
- Keep it away from drafts.
- Leave at least 10 cm between two candles.
After each use
- Extinguish the flame: Use a 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) to prevent fire hazards.
Final note
- Stop using your candle once only 5 mm of wax remain or the metal wick base 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, tempered place (15 °C–25 °C / 59 °F–77 °F), protected from direct sunlight, to avoid discoloration, pigment changes, or wax detachment."
