The Diptyque Maquis candle brings the wild beauty of Mediterranean nature to life. As soon as the flame ignites, a fragrance evoking the rugged landscape of Corsica is released, where shrubs, herbs, and resins combine to create a powerful and aromatic perfume. It's a fragrance full of character: warm, spicy, and imbued with sunlight.
The fragrance opens with vibrant, green facets of aromatic leaves and Mediterranean herbs. At the heart, spicy and resinous notes intertwine, creating depth and intensity. As the candle burns, a warm, earthy base emerges, evoking arid hills and rocky coastlines.

To get the most out of your Diptyque candle, follow these burning instructions:
-
First burning: Let the candle burn for at least 2 to 3 hours, allowing the top layer to fully liquefy. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.
-
Wick Care: Trim the wick to about 3 to 5 mm before relighting the candle. This prevents smoke and ensures a stable flame.
-
Limit burning time: Do not burn the candle for more than 3 to 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and uneven combustion.
-
Extinguishing the flame: Use a candle snuffer or blow gently to minimize smoke and spatters.
-
Wax Restoration: If the wax has melted unevenly, you can let the candle burn until the top layer liquefies again.
-
Do not allow the candle to burn completely: Stop using when approximately 5mm of wax remains to prevent overheating of the glass.
By following these guidelines, you will enjoy your Diptyque candle longer and more safely.
