FAQs
How long will the candle burn?
With proper maintenance and wick trimming, the standard Diptyque Classic Candle provides approximately 50 to 60 hours of burn time.
Can I reuse the glass container?
Yes, once the wax is finished, you can carefully remove the remaining residue with warm soapy water to repurpose the jar for makeup brushes, pens, or small trinkets.
Does this candle contain phthalates?
Diptyque adheres to strict quality and safety standards; their candles are formulated without phthalates.
Why is the top of my candle turning black?
This is usually caused by 'mushrooming' at the tip of the wick. Trimming the wick regularly will prevent this accumulation of carbon.
Is the Choisya scent overpowering?
It is designed to be fresh and luminous rather than heavy. It provides a subtle, natural floral-citrus scent that is generally considered gentle for most indoor environments.
Troubleshooting
The candle is producing excess smoke.
The wick is likely too long. Extinguish the flame, let the wax cool, and trim the wick to 1/4 inch before relighting.
The wax is tunneling (burning down the center).
During your next burn, keep the candle lit long enough for the entire top layer of wax to melt completely to the edges of the glass.
The wick has fallen into the wax.
While the wax is slightly soft, carefully use a tool to center the wick. If it is submerged, wait for the wax to harden and gently scrape a small amount away to retrieve the wick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Choisya candle, always place it on a heat-resistant surface away from curtains or flammable materials. Before every lighting, ensure you trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch; this simple step minimizes soot buildup and prevents the flame from becoming too large. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and avoid burning it for more than three to four hours at a time to maintain the integrity of the fragrance oil. When finished, gently push the wick back into the center of the molten wax pool using a metal wick dipper, which also helps extinguish the flame without producing smoke.
