Sapin Candle Xmas 2025 DIPTYQUE

Once upon a time… there was “A Night of Wax and Gold”, a holiday tale by Diptyque.

This year, Diptyque celebrates the season with an invitation to lose yourself in an enchanted story set in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés — spirited, wondrous, all aglow with imagination.

The trio of artists behind this creation echo Diptyque’s three founders: Contemporary poet Victor Pouchet created the winter tale, illustrated with surrealism and humor by Parisian illustrator and bookseller Vincent Puente. Inès Mélia, a boldly imaginative artist, works with shapes and materials to infuse a narrative dimension into poetic objets d’art that transform the narrative into tangible form.

Set in a bookshop in Saint-Germain-des-Prés a few days before Christmas, the tale follows the shopkeeper and his mischievous, highly literate cat, Archibald. The pair discover a peculiar power of attraction in a small pine cone dipped in the shimmering wax of a scented candle. As the pages turn, the alchemy of the holidays unfolds…

This year, the icons of winter escape from a fairy tale, adorned with surreal designs and golden motifs. Their boxes and wrapping papers become the precious pages of the tale, infused with poetry and light. This fairy tale is a celebration of enchantment, where every detail heightens the magic of the holidays.

How to use
Preparing your space: to protect your surfaces, especially if they’re delicate (like wood or marble), it’s best to place candles on a stand.
– Light the candle: your journey starts here. We recommend lighting your candle with a match to avoid any risk of burning yourself.
– Coax out the scent: leave your candle to burn until the entire surface has turned to liquid (around 4 hours). Do not leave your candle unattended.
– Snuff out the flame: using a snuffer is recommended to avoid splashing hot wax. Use a wick trimmer to recenter the wick and trim it down to 5 millimeters (about 1/5 of an inch) for the best results next time you light it.
– Final sparks: we recommend you stop lighting your candle once the wax is only 5 millimeters thick (about 1/5 of an inch) or the metal wick sustainer becomes visible.
– Ventilate your space: we recommend airing out your indoor space after burning a candle.
