The jar for our “indoor and outdoor” scented candle was designed in collaboration with famous porcelain manufacturer Jars. Rustic and artisanal, the terracotta used breathes life and form into the brand’s iconic oval. Made entirely by hand, each candle is presented in a signature hat box that’s perfect for gifting.

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.

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.
- Choose a sufficiently large space or burn outside.

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 wicks 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 flames: use a snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax.
- Re-center the wicks 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.

After care & storage- We recommend airing out 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 avoid discoloration, pigmentation or dislodge of the wax.
