FAQs

What is the burn time of this candle?

The Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germain candle has an approximate burn time of 90 hours.

How do I get the best scent from the candle?

For optimal scent diffusion, allow the candle to burn for 2-3 hours on its first use, ensuring the wax melts evenly to the edges. Trim the wicks to 3-5mm before each subsequent burn.

What does the '34 Boulevard Saint Germain' scent smell like?

It is Diptyque's signature scent, characterized by fresh, green notes of moss and crushed blackcurrant leaves, mingled with floral notes, spices, woods, and balms.

Can the porcelain jar be reused?

Yes, once the candle is fully burned, the white biscuit porcelain jar can be cleaned and reused for storage or decorative purposes.

How often should I trim the wicks?

It is recommended to trim the wicks to a length of 3-5mm before each use to ensure a clean and even burn.

Is this candle suitable for sensitive individuals?

The fragrance is complex and potent. While many enjoy it, individuals very sensitive to strong scents may wish to test it in a well-ventilated area first.

Troubleshooting

Tunneling (wax only melts in the center)

Ensure the candle burns long enough on the first use (2-3 hours) for the wax pool to reach the edges. Trim wicks regularly to promote an even burn.

Sooting or excessive smoke

Trim the wicks to 3-5mm before each use. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area.

Weak scent throw

Verify the candle has had its initial proper burn. Ensure wicks are trimmed and the room is not excessively large or drafty. Allow the candle to burn for at least 30 minutes to develop scent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience and longevity from your Diptyque candle:

First Burn: For the initial lighting, allow the candle to burn for 2-3 hours, or until the wax has melted evenly to the edges of the jar. This prevents tunneling.
Wick Maintenance: Before each use, trim the wicks to a length of 3-5mm. This helps ensure a clean, steady burn and prevents excessive smoke or soot.
Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wicks into the melted wax pool to extinguish the flame, then straighten the wicks before the wax hardens.
Placement: Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
Care: The white biscuit porcelain jar can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth once the candle has been fully used.
