The Diptyque Opopanax candle reveals the enchanting warmth of this rare resin, also known as sweet myrrh. Once the flame burns, a deep, balsamic fragrance is released, filling the room with velvety sweetness and a touch of mystery. The scent evokes the atmosphere of ancient rituals and precious perfumes, both earthy and spiritual.
The fragrance is rich and enveloping. Sweet, resinous notes blend with warm, spicy accents and a light smokiness, giving the composition depth and character. As the candle burns, a golden, almost velvety softness develops, enveloping the interior in comfort and elegance. Opopanax is intense yet refined: a fragrance that brings serenity and luxury in perfect harmony.

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.
