FIGUIER

The Herbarium of Fruits

A large-format candle that extends the experience of the iconic Figuier fragrance, poured into a handcrafted deep green ceramic vessel.

The warmth of sun-drenched fig wood blends with the freshness of its leaves and the creamy richness of its fruit. The full depth of this emblematic fragrance radiates from an elegant vessel designed to be enjoyed endlessly.

Through Figuier, Diptyque invites you this summer on a refreshing sensory escape into the heart of a water garden. A place paved with ancient stone and sheltered beneath umbrella pines, where flowering shrubs mingle with blossoming orange trees. Majestic fountains release crystal-clear water, their droplets suspended in the air and sparkling beneath the bright summer sun. A setting where every sense is awakened.

To capture this summer landscape, Diptyque called upon the remarkable artistry of Mathilde Jonquiere, who created a series of original mosaics inspired by summer water gardens. Through a meticulous composition of Venetian enamels, glass paste and golden accents, the artist brings luminous and vibrant frescoes to life.

Featured across the limited-edition vessels and boxes, these creations capture the poetry of the moment, like a mirror reflecting the freshness of a lush garden bathed in sunlight.
The Growing Figuier Family

The iconic fig tree fragrance is now available in several formats, including the new 600 g Large Candle poured into a handcrafted ceramic vessel.

For its Very Large Candle collection, Diptyque collaborates with exceptional ceramists. Chosen for its authentic and artisanal character, the ceramic bears the Maison's iconic oval emblem.

Hand-shaped, glazed and fired at high temperatures, the material reveals a unique finish born from the fusion of clay and glaze. Each vessel becomes an expression of craftsmanship and the attention to detail that defines the Diptyque universe.

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.
