One of the world’s most extraordinary resins – the cousin of myrrh and benzoin. The scent is balmy and enveloping, with subtle hints of vanilla. Hailing from the Orient, with a scent that instantly soothed the senses, opoponax was formerly as much remedy as perfume.

Directions for use

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.

A true work of craftsmanship

Each candle requires months of development and around ten steps to produce. Some are carried out by hand, like adjusting and centring the wicks after the wax has been poured or cutting the wick to a precise height. One secret is to control the temperature and allow the wax to rest while it is still in its liquid state.
