FAQs
How long will the 300g candle burn?
With proper care and maintenance, the 300g candle typically offers approximately 60 to 75 hours of burn time.
Can I reuse the yellow glass vessel?
Yes, once the candle is finished, you can remove the remaining wax by freezing the vessel and gently popping out the residue, then wash it to use as a decorative container.
Is the Ambre scent overpowering?
Ambre is a rich, warm scent. In very small, unventilated rooms, the fragrance can be quite strong; it is best suited for larger, well-ventilated spaces.
Why does my candle have black soot on the glass?
Soot is usually caused by a wick that is too long. Trimming your wick regularly to 5mm will significantly reduce this.
What is the inspiration behind this scent?
The fragrance is inspired by the scents of amber beads discovered in antique treasure chests, focusing on resins, spices, and precious woods.
How often should I trim the wick?
The wick should be trimmed before every single use to ensure a steady flame and clean burn.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax is not melting to the edges)
Ensure the candle stays lit for at least 2-3 hours during the initial burn to allow the entire surface area to liquify.
Excessive smoke or soot
Check that your wick is trimmed to 5mm and keep the candle away from drafts or air currents.
The wick has moved off-center
While the wax is soft (but not fully liquid), gently push the wick back into the center using a metal tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life and safety of your Diptyque Ambre candle, always place it on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Before each burn, ensure the wick is trimmed to approximately 5mm to prevent excessive smoking or uneven flame height. Keep the candle away from ceiling fans, open windows, or high-traffic areas where breezes might cause flickering. When extinguishing the candle, avoid blowing it out directly, as this can cause wax splatter; using a dedicated candle snuffer is preferred. Periodically wipe the inside of the glass with a lint-free cloth if any soot accumulates to maintain the aesthetic clarity of the vessel.
