villa borromeo visconti. a striking spectacle: a baroque garden where frescoes, nymphaea and pathways lined with orange trees ripened in the sun.
60 years after the first diptyque candle, a new chapter is being written with the first scented candles for which the maison also offers refills.
the collection “les mondes de diptyque” (“the worlds of diptyque”) allows us to see and smell little-known places, adding a dash of extra soul to the mix. a saga in 5 volumes, each candle relating the history of the location it embodies in curls of fragrantsmoke. each candle opens a doorway to a different, faraway world. it’s an opportunity to enjoy an interlude outside time itself, spent in exploration of beauty.
the scene unfolds near milan, in the garden of the villa borromeo visconti. beyond stone arches and greenery, the sight, simply stunning, is one to behold: a myriad of nymphs, sculpted grottoes decorated with painted frescoes, shell concretions and mineral mosaics, all bearing witness to the artistic extravagance and baroque spirit of the time. down the pathways of this “garden of wonders” lined with orange trees in bloom, a seat by the fountains offers a refreshing pause amid the fresh, tangy scent of citrus fruits ripened in the italian sun – a scent revealed in this candle.light nymphaes merveilles (nymphaeum of wonders) and enter the enchanting gardens of these renaissance palaces, getting lost in the splendor of 16th-century italy. with only the sun, and art, as guides.
each of these candles was conceived to last through multiple lifetimes, and can easily be refilled with your scent of choice – so the journey never ends.
directions for use
each candle from the collection “les mondes de diptyque” is an exceptional product requiring particular care and attention.
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.
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 5 hours depending on the scent). this prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick 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 5 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 flame: use a snuffer to avoid splashing hot wax.
– re-center the wick 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.
to refill it:
– when around 5 mm of wax remains at the bottom or the metal wick support is visible, the candle is finished.
– once the wax has cooled, place the candle jar inside a bowl of water heated to 60°c, with the water halfway up the height of the candle jar. wait for 2 minutes to allow the wax time to soften.
– lift the candle jar out of the water, then slide the blade of a round-tipped knife between the vessel and the edges of the remaining block of softened wax, then slide the knife under the wax. pop out the wax and dispose of it in the trash.
– wash and dry the inside of the vessel.
– pull back the flaps on either side of the inner sleeve to open it, then place the wax refill into the vessel.
your candle is now ready for use.
