Not far from Kyoto, in a location conducive to meditation and contemplation, stands a temple with a garden containing one hundred and twenty rare and delicate varieties of moss.

Light the Temple des Mousses ("Moss Temple") candle and you’re granted access to the magic of a Japanese zen garden, transported deep into an unspoilt natural environment. A rare privilege. This candle weighs 270g. 60 years after the first Diptyque candle, a new chapter is being written with the first scented candles for which the Maison also offers refills.

The collection “Les Mondes de Diptyque” (“The Worlds of Diptyque”) allows us to see and smell little-known places, adding a dash of extra soul to the mix. A saga in 5 volumes, each candle relating the history of the location it embodies in curls of fragrant smoke. Each candle opens a doorway to a different, faraway world. It's an opportunity to enjoy an interlude outside time itself, spent in exploration of beauty.

Not far from Kyoto, in the southern foothills of Mount Arashiyama, stands a Japanese temple and its Zen garden, whose 120 rare and delicate moss species flourish in the light and shade of the forest.

Temple des Mousses (Moss Temple) captures the experience and beauty of this garden in an olfactory creation with woody accents of green moss, bark and lichen, and velvety notes of matcha evoking this astonishing carpet of vegetation. The serenity and hush of the site, so conducive to meditation and contemplation, are delicately rendered here.

Light the Temple des Mousses (Moss Temple) candle and step into the magic of a Japanese Zen garden as you are transported into the midst of untouched nature. A rare privilege.

Each of these candles was conceived to last through multiple lifetimes, and can easily be refilled with your scent of choice – so the journey never ends.

How to Use

When around 0.20" of wax remains at the bottom or the metal wick support is visible, the candle is finished.

Once the wax has cooled, place the candle jar inside a bowl of water heated to 140°F, with the water halfway up the height of the candle jar. Wait for 2 minutes to allow the wax time to soften.

• Lift the candle jar out of the water, then slide the blade of a round-tipped knife between the vessel and the edges of the remaining block of softened wax, then slide the knife under the wax.

• Pop out the wax and dispose of it in the trash.

• Wash and dry the inside of the vessel.

• Pull back the flaps on either side of the inner sleeve to open it, then place the wax refill into the vessel.

Your candle is now ready for use.
