What it is: A scented candle emblematic of Diptyque's signature scent. Fragrance story: Fresh, green and distinctive notes of moss and crushed black-currant leaves mingle with floral notes, enhanced by spices and underscored by the richness and warmth of woods and balms. Candle 34 encapsulates the scent of Diptyque's first boutique, located on 34 Boulevard Saint Germain, with rare and precious fragrances. The result is a fragrance that has an innovative and complex signature that is neither feminine nor masculine. The 34 Boulevard Saint Germain candle has a scent that reveals itself as fresh, green and spicy accords. Damp mosses, crumpled black-currant leaves, sun-dried fig leaves are all favorite raw materials.Notes: amber/patchouli accord, rose, cinnamon and black-currant budsHow to use: The first time you burn your Diptyque candle, allow it to burn for at least two hours until the whole top is liquid with wax to help your candle burn more evenly next time. Before lighting, trim the wicks to 1/4-inch length, which will allow the candle to burn slowly and will help avoid unsightly black marks around the edge of the glass. After blowing out your candle, re-center and straighten the wicks.
