FAQs
How long does the candle burn?
The classic candle typically offers a burn time of approximately 50 to 60 hours when maintained and used correctly.
Is the candle safe to leave unattended?
No. Never leave a burning candle unattended, near flammable objects, or within reach of children and pets.
Can I repurpose the glass jar once the candle is finished?
Yes, once the remaining wax is removed and the glass is cleaned, the vessel can be repurposed as a decorative container or desk accessory.
Does the candle contain lead in the wick?
Diptyque candles utilize lead-free cotton wicks for a clean and safe burning experience.
Why is the wax turning dark?
This can sometimes occur due to natural fragrance oils reacting to light or heat; it does not affect the performance or quality of the scent.
What should I do if the flame becomes too high?
Extinguish the candle immediately, let it cool completely, and trim the wick before relighting it.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax is melting only in the center)
Ensure you burn the candle long enough during the initial sessions so that the entire top layer of wax becomes liquid.
Black smoke or soot appearing near the wick
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting and ensure the candle is kept away from drafts or air vents.
The wick has moved off-center
Gently nudge the wick back to the center while the wax is still soft after extinguishing the flame, then allow it to cool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Diptyque candle, follow these essential maintenance steps:
- First Burn: Allow the candle to burn for at least two to three hours on the first use to ensure the wax melts evenly to the edges, preventing tunneling.
- Wick Maintenance: Always trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each lighting to ensure a clean, smoke-free burn.
- Surface Protection: Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, as the glass container can reach high temperatures after several hours of use.
- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer rather than blowing it out to minimize smoke and prevent hot wax from splashing.
