Evening Mood Candle

In Saint Germain, a neighbourhood brimming with the artistic and cultural ebullience of 1960s Paris, a creative adventure was born. Three multitalented aesthetes — Yves Coueslant, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot and Desmond Knox-Leet — were united by their travel-fueled imaginations, their fascination with great civilisations and their shared appreciation of beauty. Together, driven by boundless curiosity and with the freedom to explore it, they founded Diptyque. Creator of perfumes for the self and the home, scented skincare products and decorative objects, Maison Diptyque tells stories that set the imagination free. Each creation is, in itself, a mini world, a fragrant journey with some familiar paths and others that nourish inspiration and cultivate wonder. Diptyque extends a poetic invitation to step inside this world of bounty. Here, letters dance. A simple sketch brings an entire landscape to life. Emerging from the interplay of fragrance and image, it is a place between reverie and reality, between the intimate and the universal. Here, the imagination, liberated, may roam.

Light the candle at the start of the evening ritual, then gradually dim the lights. Its soothing fragrance evokes the comforting atmosphere of a serene day’s end, a gentle guide toward calm.

As an exceptional artisanal creation, the Diptyque candle deserves the utmost care. Here are a few tips to maximize its lifespan and enjoy it safely.

Preparing the Space:

• Place the candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
• Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble by placing the candle on a tray or coaster.
• Keep the candle away from flammable materials.
• Keep the candle out of reach of children and pets.

Lighting the Candle:

• Use a match to avoid any risk of burns.
• For the first burn, allow the candle to burn until the entire surface of the wax has liquefied (approximately 4 hours, depending on the fragrance). This prevents the wax from tunnelling and ensures the wick is fully saturated, guaranteeing an even burn thereafter. The wick may emit a slight amount of smoke when first lit.

While Burning:

• Do not let the candle burn for more than 4 consecutive hours after the initial burn.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Do not move a candle while it is lit or while the wax is still hot.
• Keep the candle away from drafts.
• Leave a distance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) between candles.
