Sapin (Pine Tree) Classic 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.

An exceptional artisanal creation, your Diptyque candle deserves the utmost care. Here are a few tips to optimize its lifespan and to help you enjoy it safely:
Prepare your space:

• Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
• Protect delicate materials such as wood or marble with a stand or tray.
• Keep candles away from flammable materials.
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

Light the candle:

• We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.
• During the first burn, make sure to let the candle burn until a uniform pool of melted wax has formed (about 4 hours depending on the scent). This prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick to absorb the wax properly, ensuring an even burn thereafter. Wicks may produce a small amount of smoke when first lit.

While burning:

• Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time after the first burn.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Do not move a burning or unlit hot candle.
• Keep it away from drafts.
• Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) between two candles.

After each use:

• Snuff out the flame: use a snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax.
• Re-center the wick once the candle is out.
• Before relighting your candle, use a wick trimmer to trim the wick (ideal length: 3 to 5 mm) to avoid risk of fire.

Final note:

• Stop using your candle once there is only 5 mm of wax left or the metal wick sustainer base becomes visible.

After care & storage:

• We recommend airing out the room after burning a candle.
• Allow the wax to cool completely before moving your candle.
• Store it in a dry, temperate place (15 °C–25 °C / 59 °F–77 °F), away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration, pigmentation or dislodge of the wax.
