Perfectly diffusing the scent of Diptyque candles to authentically transcribe nature’s sensations is akin to alchemy. Master waxmakers at two manufacturers, one near Paris, the other in Provence, create a different blend for each scent and each candle format, from the classic candle to the large candles and the "Les Mondes de Diptyque" (The Worlds of Diptyque) range of exclusives candles. They carefully measure out up to eight types of wax with varying textures and densities and choose the most suitable materials and diameters for the wicks. This guarantees the integrity of every fragrance, both when cold and during combustion, and the eventual formation of an even pool of wax.

The fruit of the subtle and sensitive art of composition, Diptyque’s perfumery expertise is rooted in the creative heritage of its three founders. By mixing spices, leaves and flowers like a painter prepares their palette, the founders were able to create scents both remembered and dreamed of. This original process is reflected in the scents of the Maison’s first three candles: Aubépine (Hawthorn), Cannelle (Cinnamon) and Thé (Tea).
Just as the Impressionists gave physical expression to their emotions and sensations by juxtaposing splashes of colour, so the genius of perfumers lies in their choice and balance of raw materials. As some ingredients are insoluble in wax or incompatible with combustion, scented candles have a more limited palette than do personal fragrances. Enjoying a perfect mastery of this expertise, Diptyque conserves the expressive qualities of each scent destined to burn in the heat of the flame.
