Diptyque started their famous candles collection precisely 60 years ago. Their uniqueness stands from the fact that with a single gesture, they enabled individuals to embark on captivating journeys without leaving the comfort of their living rooms, infusing spaces with refinement and creativity. With its hypnotic flame, the candle became a symbol, evoking a myriad of emotions through its evocative scents such as Aubépine (Hawthorn), Cannelle (Cinnamon), and Thé (Tea). This trio of classic Diptyque fragrances are a symbol, evoking a myriad of emotions through its evocative scents.
Months of meticulous work are dedicated to achieving the perfect blend. First, wax is melted and fragrance oils are added to create the desired scent. A wick is prepared by priming it with wax or coating it with flame-retardant material. The wick is then secured at the bottom of a container. The scented wax is carefully poured into the container, allowing it to cool and solidify. Once the wax has hardened, the excess wick is trimmed, leaving a suitable length for burning. The finished candle is now ready to be enjoyed, emanating its delightful fragrance when lit.
Craftsmanship lies at the heart of every Diptyque candle. Each candle combines multiple waxes with varying textures and densities, ensuring optimal burning performance. Meticulous attention is given to the selection of high-quality ingredients, and the chemical components designed by master candle-makers preserves the fragrance’s properties throughout the diffusion process.
Diptyque’s perfumers displayed their genius in selecting and balancing raw materials, creating harmonious accords that revealed the essence of each fragrance. Diptyque allowed every perfume to fully express itself as it danced with the candle flame, creating a symphony of scents.
In crafting each candle, Diptyque continues to weave a tale of sensory delight, infusing spaces with captivating fragrances and providing individuals with the power to create their own olfactory landscapes. So, strike a match and let the magic unfold, the enchanting world of Diptyque awaits, ready to awaken your senses and transport you on a journey of scent.
