FAQs

How long does the 190g candle burn?

With proper care and wick maintenance, the 190g candle typically offers a burn time of approximately 50 to 60 hours.

Is the fragrance suitable for small spaces?

Yes, because of its dry and woody nature, it works exceptionally well in smaller rooms where it provides a consistent, grounding scent without being overwhelming.

Can I recycle the glass jar?

Once the candle is completely finished, you can clean out any remaining wax and reuse the glass jar for storage, makeup brushes, or other household items.

What is the primary scent note?

The primary note is vetiver, which is characterized by its earthy, woody, and slightly smoky qualities.

How should I store the candle when not in use?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wax from discoloring or the fragrance from fading.

Troubleshooting

The candle is tunneling (wax is not melting to the edges).

Ensure the first burn lasts long enough for the entire surface to liquefy; subsequent burns will improve if kept away from cold drafts.

The candle is producing black smoke.

Check if the wick is too long; trim the wick to 5mm and keep the candle away from air vents or drafts.

The wick has sunken into the wax.

Use a warm paperclip or a specialized tool to gently lift the wick out while the wax is slightly softened, then let it reset.

Pros and Cons

  • Clean and even burn performance
  • Elegant design that suits any decor

  • Higher price point compared to standard candles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Diptyque candle, always trim the wick to approximately 5mm before every use to prevent flickering and excessive smoke. Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, which can cause uneven burning or soot buildup. Never burn the candle for more than four hours at a time to maintain the integrity of the fragrance and wax. When extinguishing, use a proper snuffer to avoid smoke or debris falling into the molten wax. Once the candle is finished, the empty glass vessel can be repurposed as a small decorative container or pen holder.
