FAQs
How long does the Diptyque Amber Candle typically burn for?
Due to its substantial 1500g size and five wicks, this candle offers a very long burn time, generally lasting many dozens of hours, though this can vary based on usage.
Can I use this candle outdoors?
Yes, the handcrafted terracotta jar is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. However, for optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to use it in a sheltered outdoor area away from strong winds.
What are the main scent notes in the Amber Candle?
The scent profile includes warm notes of wood, vetiver, patchouli, and spices, with specific accents of rockrose and tonka bean.
What should I do with the jar after the candle is finished?
The terracotta jar is reusable. Once cleaned, it can be used for decorative purposes or for storage of small items.
Is this candle suitable for small rooms?
While beautiful, the intensity of the five-wick Amber Candle makes it best suited for larger or medium-sized spaces. For very small rooms, a single-wick candle might provide a more balanced fragrance experience.
How should I maintain the wicks?
Always trim the wicks to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) before each time you light the candle. This promotes a cleaner, more even burn and prevents excessive smoke.
Does the candle come with a lid?
The product description mentions it comes in a hat box, which is ideal for gifting. It does not specify a lid for the candle jar itself.
Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (wax only melts in the center)
Ensure you allow the candle to burn long enough on the first use for the wax pool to reach the edges. Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each subsequent burn. Avoid drafts.
Wicks are smoking excessively
Trim the wicks to 1/4 inch. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area.
Scent is too weak
Ensure the candle has burned long enough for the scent to release (typically after the first burn). Check that the room is not excessively large or drafty, which can dissipate the fragrance faster.
Uneven burn with multiple wicks
Trim all wicks to the same length. Ensure the candle is on a level surface and avoid drafts. If one wick burns significantly faster, try trimming it slightly shorter for the next burn.

Care:
- First Burn: Allow the candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the edge of the jar to prevent tunneling. This can take several hours.
