Tubéreuse (Tuberose) Scented Candle

What it is: A limited-edition candle inspired by the craftsmanship of Vietnam that pairs heady notes of tuberose with fresh, aromatic accents. The rattan-inspired outer box and the vessel made of glass lacquered in cinnabar red echo the traditional arts of varnishing and basketwork. As it burns, the candle perfumes your home with a scent from faraway.

Fragrance story: The scent of tuberose in the wide fields of Southern India, where these fragrant white flowers are grown. From the top of their long, slender stems, they exhale a heady yet fresh and green scent, delicately nuanced with fruity, milky notes. At dusk, the fragrance of this intoxicating, beguiling flower deploys its captivating sensuality.

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.
