Product Information
Full details
The Diptyque Feu de Bois Candle is an ideal selection for those who appreciate sophisticated home fragrances that evoke the comfort and nostalgia of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Its key strength lies in its ability to fill medium to large living spaces with a deep, smoky, and resinous aroma, though users should be mindful that the bold intensity of the scent may be overwhelming in very small or unventilated areas.

FAQs
How long will the 300g candle burn?
With proper care and wick trimming, the 300g Feu de Bois candle typically provides approximately 60 to 70 hours of burn time.
Can I use this candle in a small bedroom?
Yes, but the scent is quite potent. It is recommended to burn it for short periods or keep a window slightly cracked if you find the smoke notes too strong.
Is the vessel reusable?
Yes, once the candle is finished, the high-quality glass vessel can be cleaned and repurposed as a container for makeup brushes, stationery, or other household items.
Does it smell like an artificial campfire?
No, it is designed to capture the sophisticated, refined notes of burning wood and resins, avoiding the chemical smell found in lower-quality wood-scented candles.
Should I keep the lid on when not in use?
While the candle does not come with a lid, keeping it in a dust-free environment will help preserve the fragrance. If you have a cover, use it to prevent dust from settling into the wax.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax remains on the sides of the glass).
Ensure you burn the candle long enough during the first few uses for the wax pool to reach the edges of the glass.
Excessive black smoke or soot from the wick.
The wick is likely too long. Extinguish the candle, let it cool completely, trim the wick to 5mm, and remove any debris.
The candle is difficult to light.
Ensure the wick is free of excess wax buildup and that you are using a long-reach lighter to access the base of the wick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Diptyque candle, always trim the cotton wick to 5mm before every lighting; this prevents excessive smoking and ensures the flame size remains consistent. Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts or air currents that could cause uneven burning. When extinguishing, use a snuffer rather than blowing it out to prevent smoke and debris from entering the wax pool. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the fragrance oils.
