DIptyque
Roses Medium Candle
$130
In the heart of May, rose blossoms in various stages of bloom welcome the morning dew. Petals still cool from night air release their scent.
As the first rays of sunshine appear, the fresh, floral notes reach their full expression. An homage to this iconic flower fills the room with the poetry of spring.
Story
The bohemian neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1963.
Guided by a desire to share their olfactory memories, Yves Coueslant, Christiane Gautrot, and Desmond Knox-Leet created Diptyque's first three scented candles: Aubépine (Hawthorn), Cannelle (Cinnamon) and Thé (Tea).
The three founders' fascination with nature gave rise to an exceptional herbarium of scents comprising more than fifty candles. Flowers, fruits, trees, herbs and spices make up this living collection.
The result of exceptional craftsmanship, the art of perfumery meets candle-making expertise. Each candle is made from a blend of several types of wax and a high-quality fragrance concentrate, as well as a selection of a wick that guarantee perfect scent diffusion and combustion. Meticulous work carried out in two factories, near Paris and in Provence, by master candle makers.

Lighting the candle
- During the first burn, make sure to let the candle burn until a uniform pool of melted wax has formed (about 4 hours depending on the scent). This prevents the wax from tunneling and allows the wick to absorb the wax properly, ensuring an even burn thereafter. Wicks may produce a small amount of smoke when first lit.
