<p><strong>What it is: </strong>A scented candle that envelopes your heart and home with a spicy and smoky vanilla fragrance.</p><p><strong>What it does: </strong>Inspired by dense, black vanilla pods that are so fragrant that one is enough to perfume everything. It takes long months of patience for the small pods to reveal their captivating and powerful scent. The spice then discloses its leathery, almost smoky accents.</p><p><strong>How to use: </strong>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 help avoid black marks around the edge of the glass. After blowing out the candle, recenter and straighten the wick.</p>
