L'Elide Scented Candle 220g

Diptyque's L'Elide scented candle is an ode to Greek mythology, diffusing notes borrowed from the nature that has called the country's sun-soaked terrain its home for centuries.

Inspired by one of Diptyque's founders, Desmond Knox-Leet's obsession with the ancient Greek figure, Fauna, The Elide blends essences found in the Greek landscape, such as bitter orange peel, herbaceous plants and aromatic wild lavender. The candle is housed in a matte black biscuit pot emblazoned with the horned head of Fauna.

HOW TO USE

Trim the wick each time before lighting for a longer, cleaner burn. On the first time of lighting, allow the candle to burn for two to three hours until the wax has pooled right to the edge. This will allow for an even burn in future.

From its bric-a-brac-filled headquarters at 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain, Diptyque concocts wonderfully distinctive fragrances that have sprayed, smoked and diffused their way into the hearts of homeowners and interior designers around the world. Founded by three friends with a shared creative passion, the brand - a sometime collaborator of Liberty London - takes inspiration from poetry, from the past and from the cultural riches of its native Paris to create its products.
