Five tassels, five iconic golden ovals. The signature Diptyque carousel, reinvented to celebrate the Maison's design motifs.  Once the candle is lit, the carousel begins to spin, creating a celebration of light and shadow. Projected onto the walls, wondrous light effects accompany the fragrance notes. Candle sold separately.  A Night of Wax and Gold Once upon a time... there was “A Night of Wax and Gold”, a holiday tale by Diptyque.  This year, Diptyque celebrates the season with an invitation to lose yourself in an enchanted story set in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés — spirited, wondrous, all aglow with imagination.  The trio of artists behind this creation echo Diptyque's three founders: Contemporary poet Victor Pouchet created the winter tale, illustrated with surrealism and humor by Parisian illustrator and bookseller Vincent Puente. Inès Mélia, a boldly imaginative artist, works with shapes and materials to infuse a narrative dimension into poetic objets d'art that transform the narrative into tangible form.  Set in a bookshop in Saint-Germain-des-Prés a few days before Christmas, the tale follows the shopkeeper and his mischievous, highly literate cat, Archibald. The pair discover a peculiar power of attraction in a small pine cone dipped in the shimmering wax of a scented candle. As the pages turn, the alchemy of the holidays unfolds...  This year, the icons of winter escape from a fairy tale, adorned with surreal designs and golden motifs. Their boxes and wrapping papers become the precious pages of the tale, infused with poetry and light. This fairy tale is a celebration of enchantment, where every detail heightens the magic of the holidays. Usage: This carousel is to be paired with a Diptyque Classic Candle.  As the heat generated differs from one candle to another, the speed of rotation may vary from slow to fast.  Once the candle is lit, carefully place the carousel on the candle. To remove it, wait a few moments for the object to cool, and avoid touching the top of the carousel, where the heat is concentrated.  Take care when assembling the carousel, as the pieces can be sharp.  When first used, let the candle burn for 2 or 3 hours, until all the wax has become liquid on the surface.  Cut the wick regularly (ideal length 3-5mm).  Check that the wick is straight and centered when you extinguish it.  It is recommended to air out the interior after burning a candle.
