Product Information
Full details
The Diptyque Santal Classic Candle is designed for individuals who appreciate artisanal home fragrance and seek to cultivate a sophisticated, serene environment. Its primary benefit is a high-quality, complex woody scent profile that effectively transforms the ambiance of any room with its smooth, warm, and enveloping aroma of fresh-cut sandalwood. A notable caveat is that as a premium wax product, the candle requires consistent wick maintenance and proper burning habits to ensure an even burn and prevent soot buildup.

FAQs
How long should I burn the candle each time?
It is recommended to burn the candle for 2 to 3 hours to allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass, preventing tunneling.
Can I reuse the glass container?
Yes, once the candle is finished, you can clean out the remaining wax with warm soapy water and use the vessel as a decorative item or storage container.
Is the scent overpowering?
Santal is a sophisticated and woody scent designed to be enveloping rather than sharp; it is generally perceived as subtle and calming rather than overpowering.
What happens if the wick falls into the wax?
If the wick is submerged, carefully fish it out with tweezers while the wax is still soft, then allow it to cool and harden in an upright position before trimming.
Does the candle contain paraffin or soy wax?
Diptyque uses a proprietary blend of high-quality waxes designed to optimize both the fragrance diffusion and the clean burn of the candle.
Troubleshooting
The candle is 'tunneling' (burning straight down the middle).
Ensure the first burn lasts long enough to melt the entire surface layer of wax. If tunneling persists, use a foil ring around the top edge to reflect heat inward.
The wick produces excessive smoke or black soot.
The wick is likely too long. Extinguish the candle, let it cool completely, trim the wick to 5mm, and remove any debris from the wax pool.
The fragrance throw feels weak.
Ensure the room is not too large or overly ventilated. Allow the candle to burn for at least an hour to let the fragrance oils fully activate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and safety of your Diptyque candle, follow these best practices:
- Initial Burn: For the first use, let the candle burn until the entire surface is melted (usually 2-3 hours) to prevent 'tunneling'.
- Wick Maintenance: Before each lighting, trim the wick to approximately 5mm. This prevents the wick from smoking and ensures a steady, controlled flame.
- Safety Placement: Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials like curtains or books.
- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer or gently push the wick into the wax pool and pull it back upright to avoid smoke and carbon buildup.
- Storage: Keep the candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the integrity of the wax and fragrance oils.
