Product Information
Full details
The Diptyque Violette Candle is designed for fragrance enthusiasts and home decor lovers who want to cultivate a refined, peaceful ambiance in their living spaces. Its primary benefit is a delicate, powdery, and authentic floral scent profile that evokes the aroma of fresh violets gathered at dawn, making it an excellent choice for bedrooms or studies. However, prospective users should note that the scent is subtle and sophisticated, which may be less effective in large, open-concept rooms with high ceilings or significant airflow.

FAQs
How long will the candle burn?
With proper care and consistent wick trimming, the candle typically provides approximately 50 to 60 hours of burn time.
Is the vessel reusable?
Yes, once the wax is finished, you can clean out the glass vessel with warm soapy water and use it as a decorative holder for makeup brushes or pens.
Can I leave the candle burning while I sleep?
No, never leave a burning candle unattended or near flammable materials. Always extinguish it before leaving a room or going to sleep.
Why is there soot on the inside of the glass?
Soot buildup usually occurs if the wick is too long or if the candle is burning in a drafty area. Trim the wick and move the candle away from air currents.
How do I best store the candle when not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fragrance oils and the integrity of the wax.
Troubleshooting
The candle is 'tunneling' or burning only in the center.
During the next burn, ensure you leave it lit for 2-3 hours until the melted wax reaches the glass edges.
The flame is flickering excessively or creating soot.
Extinguish the candle, let it cool completely, and trim the wick to 1/4 inch before relighting.
The scent is not strong enough.
Move the candle to a smaller, enclosed room with less airflow to allow the fragrance to concentrate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Diptyque candle lasts as long as possible, follow these maintenance steps:
- First Burn: Ensure the first burn lasts long enough for the entire surface of the wax to become liquid; this prevents 'tunneling' in future uses.
- Wick Trimming: Always trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch before relighting. This prevents the candle from smoking and ensures a steady flame.
- Placement: Keep the candle away from drafts, ceiling fans, or air conditioning vents, which can cause uneven burning and soot buildup.
- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer or gently push the wick into the molten wax and straighten it to avoid smoke and wax splatter.
