Caring for Your Scented Candle
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.
Final sparks
We recommend you stop lighting your candle once the wax is only 5 millimetres thick or the metal wick sustainer becomes visible.
Ventilate your space
We recommend airing out your indoor space after burning a candle.
Unique artisanal savoir-faire
Diptyque's originality is reflected right down to its candle-making expertise. Every stage of candle manufacturing is done with the utmost care.
Some steps are carried out entirely by hand.
Each candle is made up of a blend of several waxes.
After pouring, it's time to rest, guaranteeing optimal quality.
The wick is straightened and centered by hand, then cut to 5 millimeters (about 1/5 of an inch).
Diptyque candles are made with careful attention to detail, every step of the way.
