34 Boulevard Saint-Germain — Diptyque’s signature scent: fresh, green, unconventional notes of moss and crushed blackcurrant leaves, underpinned by oriental spice and layered with warm wood and balsamic nuances. A large three-wick candle in a white bisque-porcelain vessel bearing the maison’s oval emblem.

The first time you light a candle, let it burn until the entire wax surface has melted — this ensures an even burn and prevents tunneling. Trim the wick to about 3–4 mm before each burn. Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, and never leave it burning unattended.

Diptyque offers refillable candles and refillable body and hair care, and produces in France.
About the brand
In 1961 three friends — a painter, an interior designer, a theater set designer — opened a shop on the boulevard Saint-Germain selling their own fabrics and all manner of beautiful things. It soon became the house that lifted the scented candle from useful object to art (the first three, in 1963: hawthorn, cinnamon, tea). The oval label with its “dancing letters” was hand-drawn by the painter Desmond Knox-Leet — a former Bletchley Park codebreaker who poured his love of ciphers into the lettering. To this day Diptyque smells of bookishness and faraway places: Baies, Philosykos, Tam Dao, Do Son. Made in France.
