Maquis Scented Candle

Diptyque's Maquis scented candle brings the wild beauty of Mediterranean nature to life. As soon as the flame is lit, it releases a fragrance reminiscent of Corsica's rugged landscape, where shrubs, herbs, and resins combine to create a powerful, aromatic perfume. It is a fragrance full of character: warm, spicy, and infused with sunlight.

The fragrance opens with lively, green facets of aromatic leaves and Mediterranean herbs. In the heart, spicy and resinous accents blend to create depth and intensity. As the candle continues to burn, a warm, earthy base emerges, evoking dry hills and rocky coasts. Maquis is pure and authentic: a candle that brings the wild nature of the Mediterranean directly into your home.

To enjoy your Diptyque candle to the fullest, follow these burning instructions:

1. First burn: Let the candle burn for at least 2 to 3 hours so that the top layer becomes completely liquid. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.

2. Care for the wick: Trim the wick to approximately 3 to 5 mm before relighting the candle. This prevents smoke and ensures a steady flame.

3. Limit burning time: Do not burn the candle for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and uneven burning.

4. Extinguish the flame: Use a candle snuffer or blow gently to minimize smoke and splashes.

5. Restore the wax: If the wax has melted unevenly, let the candle burn until the top layer becomes liquid again.

6. Do not let the candle burn down completely: Stop using it when approximately 5 mm of wax remains to prevent the glass from overheating.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy your Diptyque candle for longer and more safely.
