Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals seeking an elegant and sensory home fragrance experience. The Diptyque Hourglass Diffuser offers a unique way to scent your space with the rich, woody aroma of fig trees, providing a continuous yet subtle fragrance. A potential caveat is that the fragrance diffusion relies on gravity and capillarity, meaning it's not instant and requires an inversion to activate.

FAQs

How long does the fragrance typically last?

The duration of the fragrance depends on factors like room size, temperature, and how often the hourglass is inverted. Generally, a refill can last for several weeks of intermittent use.

Can I use a different Diptyque fragrance in this hourglass?

Yes, Diptyque offers various fragrance refills specifically designed for their hourglass diffusers. You can choose a different scent when it's time to replace the current one.

How do I know when to flip the hourglass?

Flip the hourglass when you wish to start or restart the diffusion of fragrance. When you want to pause the scent, simply flip it back to its original position.

Is the 'Figuier' scent suitable for all seasons?

The 'Figuier' scent, with its woody and green notes, is versatile. It can evoke warmth and sunshine, making it pleasant year-round, particularly for those who enjoy earthy and fruity fragrances.

What is the function of the capillary system?

The capillary system, combined with gravity, allows the liquid fragrance to slowly travel from the top bulb to the bottom bulb of the hourglass, releasing its scent gradually into the air.

Can this diffuser be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

While it can be used in any room, it is best suited for areas with less air circulation to fully appreciate the subtle fragrance. Avoid very humid environments where the scent diffusion might be affected.

Troubleshooting

Fragrance not diffusing after inversion.

Ensure the hourglass was inverted correctly. Check if the refill cartridge is properly seated. If the product is old, the capillary may be clogged, and a new refill might be needed.

Weak or no scent detected.

The ambient temperature may be too low, or the air is too still. Try inverting again. Ensure the room is not excessively large for the diffuser's capacity. Check the refill level; it may be empty.

Leaking or spills.

Ensure the hourglass is placed on a level surface and is not disturbed. Check that the cap is securely fastened after inversion. Clean up any spills immediately with a soft cloth.

Glass appears cloudy.

Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the glass surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To begin, carefully unscrew the cap of the hourglass. Then, invert the hourglass to initiate the diffusion process. The fragrance will flow from the upper glass bulb to the lower one through a capillary system. Flip it again when you wish to pause or restart the diffusion.

Compatibility: The Diptyque Hourglass Diffuser is designed to work with Diptyque's specific hourglass refills. Using third-party solutions may compromise the diffusion mechanism and scent quality.

Care:

  1. Wipe the exterior glass with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  2. Store away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  3. Ensure the diffuser is placed on a stable, flat surface to prevent accidental spills.
  4. When replacing the fragrance refill, follow the instructions provided with the refill kit.
