Barrio bohemio de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1963.

Guiados por el deseo de compartir sus recuerdos olfativos, Yves Coueslant, Christiane Gautrot y Desmond Knox-Leet crearon las tres primeras velas perfumadas de Diptyque: Aubépine (Espino), Cannelle (Canela) y Thé (Té).

La fascinación de los tres fundadores por la naturaleza dio lugar a un excepcional herbario de fragancias con más de cincuenta velas. Flores, frutas, árboles, hierbas y especias componen esta colección viva.

Fruto de una artesanía excepcional, el arte del perfume se une al saber hacer de los maestros cereros. Cada vela se elabora a partir de una mezcla de varias ceras y un concentrado de perfume de alta calidad, así como una mecha seleccionada para garantizar una difusión y una combustión perfectas. Un trabajo minucioso realizado por maestros cereros en dos manufacturas, una cerca de París y otra en la Provenza.

- Suitable for small rooms.
- Fragrance gradually released and persistent (optimal after around 20 minutes).
- There is no limit on the size of the space as long as you keep an eye on the candle.

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 2 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 2 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.
