FAQs
How long does a 190g Diptyque candle typically burn?
A 190g candle generally provides between 50 to 60 hours of burn time when cared for properly.
Can I reuse the glass jar once the candle is finished?
Yes, once the remaining wax is removed and the jar is cleaned, it serves as an excellent container for makeup brushes, pens, or small items.
How do I remove excess wax from the jar?
Place the jar in the freezer for a few hours. The remaining wax will shrink and usually pop out easily, then wash with warm soapy water.
Why does the scent feel weaker than expected?
Fragrance throw depends on room size and airflow. Try moving the candle to a smaller, enclosed space or ensure the room is not too drafty.
Should I cover the candle when not in use?
Using a lid or cover prevents dust from settling on the wax surface, which helps keep the scent profile pure and clean for your next burn.
Troubleshooting
The candle is producing black smoke.
The wick is likely too long. Extinguish the flame, let the wax harden, trim the wick to 5mm, and remove any debris.
The candle is tunneling (wax is not melting to the edges).
Ensure the candle stays lit long enough for the melt pool to reach the edge of the glass, usually 2-3 hours during the first few burns.
The wick has moved off-center.
When the wax is soft (but not liquid), carefully nudge the wick back into the center using a metal tool or wick dipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your candle, place the vessel on a heat-resistant surface away from curtains, books, or flammable materials. Before every lighting, trim the cotton wick to approximately 5 millimeters; this prevents the wick from producing excess smoke or carbon buildup. Avoid placing the candle directly in the path of air vents or open windows, as drafts will cause the flame to flicker and produce uneven burning. Once the wax reaches the last 5-10 millimeters, discontinue use to avoid potential heat damage to the glass vessel. Store the candle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fragrance oils.
