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.

To protect your surfaces, especially if they're delicate (like wood or marble), it's best to place candles on a stand.

Your journey starts here. We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.

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 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.

We recommend you stop lighting your candle once the wax is only 5 millimeters thick (about 1/5 of an inch) or the metal wick sustainer becomes visible.

We recommend airing out your indoor space after burning a candle.

Making scented candles is a craft that demands time and an intimate knowledge of their materials – wax, wick and fragrance. This expertise has been built up and mastered by the Maison over more than 60 years.

Once the flame goes out, a whole new adventure begins.
Empty candle jars become a vessel for your most creative ideas: a planter, pen pot, cotton wool storage... the world is your oyster.
