As soon as the candle is lit, the carousel begins to turn, creating a magical interplay of light and shadow. Projected onto the walls, wondrous light effects accompany the slowly emanating fragrances. Candle sold separately.
This carousel is combined with a classic candle from Diptyque.
As the heat generated varies from candle to candle, the speed of rotation can vary from slow to fast.
Once the candle is lit, carefully place the carousel on the candle. To remove it, wait a few moments until the object has cooled down and avoid touching the top of the carousel where the heat is concentrated.
Be careful when reassembling the carousel as the parts may be sharp.
When using the candle for the first time, leave it to burn for 2 to 3 hours until all the wax on the surface has melted.
Cut the wick regularly (ideal length 3-5 mm). Check that the wick is straight and centred when you extinguish it. It is recommended to ventilate the interior after burning a candle.
A night of wax and gold
Once upon a time ... ‘A night of wax and gold’, a festive story by Diptyque. This year, Diptyque transports you to a magical story full of wonder and fantasy — in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where the magic of the festive season comes to life.
The trio of artists behind this creation reflects the three founders of Diptyque: contemporary poet Victor Pouchet created the winter story, illustrated with surrealism and humour by Parisian illustrator and bookseller Vincent Puente. Inès Mélia, an exceptional artist, works with shapes and materials to translate the narrative elements into poetic art objects that transform the story into a tangible form.
Set in a bookshop in Saint-Germain-des-Prés a few days before Christmas, the story follows the bookseller and his mischievous, highly educated cat Archibald. The two discover a strange attraction in a small pine cone dipped in the shimmering wax of a scented candle. With each turn of the page, the magic of the festive season unfolds …
This year, Diptyque's winter icons find themselves in a fairy tale, adorned with surreal designs and golden motifs. The boxes and wrapping paper become the precious pages of the story, imbued with poetry and light. A fairy tale that celebrates the magic of the festive season — with many loving details that playfully capture the magic of the festive season.
