The Amande (Almond) Classic Candle by Diptyque, offers a truly heartwarming scent experience, combining the rich, comforting fragrances of almond, iris, sandalwood, and tonka bean. This blend is reminiscent of a beloved French treat, the Galette des Rois, or king cake. Inspired by this festive indulgence, the candle evokes the spirit of the season, filling the air with the sweet, creamy aroma of frangipane, a traditional almond-flavored custard cream.

The smooth, sweet notes stimulate the appetite in the same way the cake’s signature frangipane does, creating a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to enjoy the season’s pleasures for just a bit longer. The fragrance’s fruity accents, combined with the warmth of sandalwood and the richness of almond, capture the essence of a cozy winter evening, making it a perfect addition to your home this time of year.
When first lighting the candle, it’s recommended to let it burn for 2-3 hours, ensuring that the wax melts evenly across the surface. This thoughtful approach guarantees a consistent burn and allows the fragrance to fully develop, filling the room with its delightful aroma. The Amande candle is designed to last, with a burning time of around 50 hours.
Maintaining the Amande candle is simple and ensures a long-lasting fragrance. Cutting the wick regularly with a wick trimmer is crucial, with an ideal wick length between 0.12″ to 0.20″ for optimal performance. After each use, it’s also important to centre the wick in the wax to ensure an even consumption of the wax, allowing the candle to burn smoothly. This attention to detail maximizes the fragrance release and ensures that each burn is as enjoyable as the last.
The scent of the Amande candle gradually fills the room, becoming most prominent after approximately 20 minutes of burning. Its scent is persistent, lingering long after the flame has been extinguished. While the candle is suitable for small to medium-sized rooms, its fragrance is versatile enough to fill larger spaces as well, as long as it’s monitored for safety.
Whether you’re using it to extend the festive cheer or simply to enjoy the comforting warmth of its scent, this candle provides a simple yet luxurious way to brighten the winter months. With its lasting fragrance, it promises to make every moment just a bit sweeter.
