An exceptional artisanal creation, your Diptyque candle deserves the utmost care.

Here are a few tips to optimize its lifespan and to help you enjoy it safely.

Prepare your space

- Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.

- Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a stand or tray.

- Keep candles away from flammable materials.

- Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

Light the candle

- We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.

- During the first burn, make sure to let the candle burn until a uniform pool of melted wax has formed (about 4 hours depending on the scent). This prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick to absorb the wax properly, ensuring an even burn thereafter. Wicks may produce a small amount of smoke when first lit.

While burning

- Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time after the first burn.

- Never leave a burning candle unattended.

- Do not move a burning or unlit hot candle.

- Keep it away from draft.

- Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) between two candles.

After each use

- Snuff out the flame: use a snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax.

- Re-center the wick once the candle is out.

- Before relighting your candle, use a wick trimmer to trim the wick (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to avoid risk of fire.

Final note

- Stop using your candle once there is only 5 mm of wax left or the metal wick sustainer base becomes visible.

After care & storage

- We recommend airing out the room after burning a candle.

- Allow the wax to cool completely before moving your candle.

- Store it in a dry, temperate place (15 °C–25 °C / 59 °F–77 °F), away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration, pigmentation or dislodge of the wax.
