The Herbarium of Spices
Delicate, sensual, and endlessly captivating, musk, once of animal origin, is now recreated by perfumers in a tender, flattering form. As the wax warms, its softness envelops the room in a whisper of intimacy.
"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.
- 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, be sure to let the candle burn 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 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 of space 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 before relighting your candle with a wick trimmer (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to prevent fire hazards.
Final note
- Stop using your candle once only 5 mm of wax remains or the metal wick base becomes visible.
- 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), away from direct sunlight, to avoid discoloration, pigment changes, or wax detachment."
