Opopanax Scented Candle

Diptyque's Opopanax scented candle reveals the enchanting warmth of this rare resin, also known as sweet myrrh. As soon as the flame is lit, a deep, balsamic fragrance spreads through the room, filling it with velvety sweetness and a touch of mystery. The perfume evokes the atmosphere of ancient rituals and precious fragrances, both earthy and spiritual.

The fragrance is rich and enveloping. Sweet, resinous notes blend with warm, spicy accents and a subtle smokiness that gives the composition depth and character. As the candle continues to burn, it develops a golden, almost velvety softness that envelops the interior in comfort and elegance. Opopanax is intense yet refined: a fragrance that brings serenity and luxury into perfect harmony.

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 entire top layer becomes liquid. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn.

2. Caring 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. Extinguishing the flame: Use a candle snuffer or blow gently to minimize smoke and splatters.

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

6. Do not burn the candle 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.
