The bohemian neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1963. Guided by a desire to share their olfactory memories, Yves Coueslant, Christiane Gautrot, and Desmond Knox-Leet created Diptyque's first three scented candles: Aubépine (Hawthorn), Cannelle (Cinnamon) and Thé (Tea).

The three founders' fascination with nature gave rise to an exceptional herbarium of scents comprising more than fifty candles. Flowers, fruits, trees, herbs and spices make up this living collection.

The result of exceptional craftsmanship, the art of perfumery meets candle-making expertise. Each candle is made from a blend of several types of wax and a high-quality fragrance concentrate, as well as a selection of a wick that guarantee perfect scent diffusion and combustion. Meticulous work carried out in two factories, near Paris and in Provence, by master candle makers.

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). Do not leave your candle unattended.
- Snuff out the flame : Using a snuffer is recommended to avoid splashing hot wax. Use a wick trimmer to recentre the wick and trim it down to 5 millimetres for the best results next time you light it.
- 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.
