Details & care

What it is: A floral candle that fills the air with a vast garden of white and fragrant gardenias.

Fragrance story: Since gardenia means joy and happiness in the language of flowers, the heady and fresh scent of the gardenia often brightens the bouquets of brides.

Style: Floral.

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 your candle 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 unsightly black marks around the edge of the glass. After blowing out your candle, re-center and straighten the wick.

Smells very realistic

Firstly this has great throw, although not as strong as Baies but still very good. It smells like very realistic good quality gardenia to me - it transports me to feeling like I am on a tropical holiday such as the Maldives. Really relaxes me and puts me in a good mood! This brand has amazing scents - this is in my top 5 along with Baies, 34 anf Tuberose.

Not my favourite

I'm a huge fan of Diptyque candles but I must say that I was a little disappointed with the throw on this one. I tend to go for quite punchy fragrances for both myself and my home and this didn't quite tick the box for that. I do recognise that some people prefer a less overpowering scent especially if near a kitchen/dining room so it definitely has its place in the home - just possibly not mine.

Received this as a birthday gift, loved it so much

I received this is a 30th birthday gift and I absolutely adore the scent. It's super fresh, floral, what I imagine is like to go on a coastal walk near an orange grove in the South of Italy. Subtle but intoxicating at the same time. Beautiful packaging and presentation. will definitely buy myself.

Spring

I love gardenia and this candle is perfect for springtime! Lovely creamy white floral scented and the scent in the candle itself does last a long time, as of any Diptyque candles really. I sometimes have this in the winter too as it also creates a very cozy and welcoming home or bathroom scent, without being too 'refreshing' like other floral scents.

Great for summer

I was looking for the products with gardenia scent, as my grandma used to have lots of gardenias in her garden. I have tried different fragrances and candles from various brands, this is the best so far. Especially, it is great for summer. Each time you only need to light it on for two hours, it lasts for almost a day. I have repurchased several times already. It is definitely on my must-have list.

Beautiful Floral

This candle is lovely for those floral lovers who like a heady scent. It smells exactly like gardenias and i just adore this in warmer months. Makes a perfect gift as it's not too sharp or offensive. It's really a beautiful scent. Brilliant for mother's day for example!
