A handcrafted creation of exceptional quality, your Diptyque candle deserves the utmost care. Here are some tips to optimise its lifespan and enjoy it safely.

Prepare the space
- Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a base or a tray.
- Keep candles away from flammable materials.
- Keep candles out of reach of children and animals.



Lighting the candle
- We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burns.
- On first use, make sure to let the candle burn until its entire surface is liquid:

About 2 hours for miniature candles (35g), depending on the fragrance
About 4 hours for small candles (70g), classic candles (190g), medium candles (300g), large candles (600g) and very large candles (1.5kg)
About 5 hours for Les Mondes de Diptyque candles

This prevents tunnelling and allows the wick to soak up the wax properly, ensuring even burning afterwards. The wick may emit a slight smoke on first lighting.



While burning
- After the first use, do not let the candle burn for more than:

2 hours at a time for miniature candles (35g)
4 hours at a time for small candles (70g), classic candles (190g), medium candles (300g), large candles (600g) and very large candles (1.5kg)
5 hours at a time for Les Mondes de Diptyque candles

- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Do not move a burning or still-hot candle.
- Keep it away from draughts.
- Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) between two candles.



After each use
- Extinguish the flame: use a snuffer to avoid splattering hot wax.
- Re-centre the wick(s) once the candle is extinguished.
- Before relighting your candle, use a wick trimmer to cut the wick(s) (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to avoid any risk of fire.



End of use
- Stop using your candle when only 5 mm of wax remains or when the metal wick holder becomes visible.

Care and storage

- We recommend airing 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 prevent the wax from discolouring, staining, or coming away from the glass.
