Know before you buy
This candle features a heady, fresh floral scent that mimics the authentic aroma of white gardenias. It is considered a strong fragrance, making it an excellent choice for filling a room with a vibrant, garden-inspired atmosphere.
The candle is crafted using a high-quality coconut wax blend. This specific formulation is designed to ensure a clean, consistent burn and an effective scent throw.
A standard 190g Diptyque candle typically provides approximately 60 hours of burn time. To maximize the life of your candle, ensure you trim the wick to about 5mm before each use.
Because the Gardenia fragrance has a strong intensity, it can easily overpower a very small, enclosed space. It is best suited for medium to large living areas where the scent can circulate effectively.
Yes, once the wax has been fully consumed, the elegant glass jar can be cleaned and repurposed as a decorative container for items like makeup brushes, pens, or small trinkets.
