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.

Refilling the candle- When the wax level reaches approximately 5 mm, or when the metal base supporting the wick is visible, the candle is finished.
- Once the wax has cooled, place the candle in a bowl of water at 60 °C/140 °F, halfway up the glass. Wait two minutes for the wax to soften.
- Remove the wax from the water using a round-tipped knife. Slide the blade between the glass and the edges of the softened wax disk, then slip the knife underneath. Lift the loosened wax disk and dispose of it in the trash.
- Wash and dry the inside of the glass.
- Remove the refill from its container.
- Remove the lid, turn the refill upside down, and firmly tap the bottom of the container once or twice, while protecting the wax surface, to gently release the wax block.
- Place the wax block into the glass.

Your candle is now ready to be used.

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.

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.
