CITRONNELLE CANDLE ED LIM 2024

The bright and fresh lemongrass brings with it instant memories of refreshing summer evenings. As the sun sets below the horizon, the air becomes colder and darkness settles over the garden. It is perfect for keeping mosquitoes at bay. Lemongrass is the main ingredient of this edition, emanating floral notes and a fragrance enriched with lemon, verbena, neroli and subtle accents of orange blossom.

To mark the arrival of summer, Diptyque invites you to enjoy a relaxing and sunny stay on the beautiful Mediterranean coast. The view of the turquoise waves undulating on the horizon, the colorful shadows that dot the beach and the evenings that last until late at night create an idyllic setting. This landscape is brought to life in the illustrations of the collection by the French artist Alexandre Benjamin Navet, who values and values this atmosphere. The vibrant and lively colors pay homage to the tranquil lifestyle of the Mediterranean. It is an invitation to enjoy all the delights of summer.

Directions For Use

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.

• Choose a sufficiently large space or burn outside.

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 wicks 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 draft.

• Leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) between two candles.

After Each Use

• Snuff out the flames: use a snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax.

• Re-center the wicks 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.
