4B4FE273-E6A6-4565-97D1-09380D47D0D6

9719198E-41F1-4936-883C-012E82E611C0

 

  Baies/Berries Candle DIPTYQUE icon

What it is: An irresistibly fresh and fruity scented candle that warms your heart and home.

Fragrance story: Closely related to L'Ombre Dans L'Eau, diptyque Baies Scented Candle features a bouquet of roses and blackcurrant leaves.

Style: Fruity.

How 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 it burn more evenly next time. Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4-inch length, which will allow the candle to burn slowly and will help avoid black marks around the edge of the glass. After blowing out the candle, recenter and straighten the wick.

JO MALONE LONDON™ Lime Basil & Mandarin Luxury Candle

Monday, November 09, 2020 by Opullent

702B801C-EFCD-42B9-BF19-C96694525190

0621A5CD-DA3D-4678-B9A1-61A5E5B70144

  Lime Basil & Mandarin Luxury Candle JO MALONE LONDON™ icon

What it is: A stunning four-wick candle that envelops any room in the scent of Lime Basil & Mandarin, lingering for hours.

Fragrance story: Reminiscent of the scent of limes carried on a Caribbean sea breeze, Lime Basil & Mandarin has become a modern classic for men and women. Fresh limes and zesty mandarins are undercut by peppery basil and aromatic white thyme in this alluring signature blend.

Notes: Lime, mandarin, basil, white thyme.

How to use: Begin by allowing the wax to melt and pool right to the candle's edges the first time you light it, and don't blow it out until it has. When you first light the wick, you may see a little smoke, which is normal. It just needs time to draw up the wax properly. Ensure your candle stays pristine by snipping the wick to 6mm before every burn.
