Diptyque creates the world’s most famous luxury scented candles. The candles are handmade in 12 steps using exceptional-quality fragrances and the purest wax. The fragrances in the wax gradually release their scent as they are warmed by the flame. A single candle can fill a room with fragrance for 60 hours; within the first minute of lighting it, a fragrant breeze fills the room. The candles are so potent that some people don’t even light them, as they are fragrant enough on their own. Tips: When lighting a Diptyque candle for the first time, let it burn for one hour. Before lighting it, trim the wick as short as possible (half a centimeter); this will make the flame smaller, but the scent will remain the same, and the glass won’t get sooty.
