Citronnelle (Lemongrass) - Classic Candle

Citronnelle (Lemongrass) Classic Candle

The herbarium of flowers

Bright, zesty lemongrass is an instant reminder of balmy summer nights. When the sun dips below the horizon, the air cools and night falls over the garden.

Perfect for keeping mosquitos at bay. Lemongrass is this edition’s star ingredient, exuding floral and lemon-infused notes as verbena, neroli and orange blossom skirt around the edges.

Directions for use

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.

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.

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.

Story

To celebrate summer, Diptyque beckons you in for a relaxing, sunny stay on the Mediterranean coast. Turquoise waves ripple on the horizon, colourful parasols stud the beach, and the evenings stretch late into the night…

A landscape that French artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet cherishes and brings to life in this collection’s illustrations. Sultry, high-impact washes of colour pay tribute to languid Mediterranean living. An invitation to savour the delights of summer.
