Inspired by the wonder of Christmas, Diptyque's limited edition Étincelles candle brings together the classic scents of the holiday season. 

Its woody accord echoes the nostalgic aroma of a simple wood fire, spiked with delicious coffee and chocolate to transport you back to special family gatherings. This candle looks as magical as it smells, housed in a gorgeous keepsake jar adorned with gold lettering and starry accents that will glint in its ambient glow.

How to use:

• On the first use, allow it to burn for at least two hours, until the whole top is liquid with wax. This will help to ensure that the candle burns more evenly the next time.
• Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4-inch length. By shortening the wick, the candle will burn more slowly and also avoid unsightly black smoke marks around the edge of the glass.
• After extinguishing candle, re-centre and straighten the wick.
• Never leave a lit candle unattended. Always place candle on a level, heat resistant, non-flammable surface away from fabric or drapes. Choose an area free from drafts to avoid uneven burning.

In Saint Germain, a neighbourhood brimming with the artistic and cultural ebullience of 1960s Paris, a creative adventure was born. Three multitalented aesthetes — Yves Coueslant, Christiane Montadre-Gautrot and Desmond Knox-Leet — were united by their travel-fueled imaginations, their fascination with great civilisations and their shared appreciation of beauty. Together, driven by boundless curiosity and with the freedom to explore it, they founded Diptyque. Creator of perfumes for the self and the home, scented skincare products and decorative objects, Maison Diptyque tells stories that set the imagination free. Each creation is, in itself, a mini world, a fragrant journey with some familiar paths and others that nourish inspiration and cultivate wonder. Diptyque extends a poetic invitation to step inside this world of bounty. Here, letters dance. A simple sketch brings an entire landscape to life. Emerging from the interplay of fragrance and image, it is a place between reverie and reality, between the intimate and the universal. Here, the imagination, liberated, may roam.
