Caring for your candle
An exceptional artisanal creation, your Diptyque candle requires the greatest care. Discover how you can get the most out of every note, for as long as possible, in just a few steps.
Preparing your space
To protect your surfaces, especially if they're delicate (like wood or marble), it's best to place candles on a stand.
Light the candle
Your journey starts here. We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.
Coax out the scent
Leave your candle to burn until the entire surface has turned to liquid (around 4 hours). Never leave a candle unattended. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets, and away from curtains and any other flammable materials.
Snuff out the flame
Snuff out the flame using a snuffer is recommended to avoid splashing hot wax.
After each use, trim the wick (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to avoid the risk of fire and unnecessary smoke. Recenter it with a wick trimmer while the wax is still liquid for optimal burning next time.
Candle care
Inspired by the iconic Diptyque oval, the snuffer and wick trimmer ensure optimal burning, preserving and extending the enjoyment of each candle. A finishing gesture that completes the scented ceremony.
An invitation to an imaginary journey
For over 60 years, Diptyque has cultivated more than 50 scents inspired by flowers, fruits, herbs, trees, and spices. An olfactory herbarium, encased in wax, preserving the living memory of nature.
Once the flame goes out, a whole new adventure begins.
