Learn how to use the Diptyque Figuier wax oval to fill your space with the scent of fig tree, plus practical tips for placement and getting the most from each oval.
Quick Answer
Place the Diptyque Figuier wax oval in a wax warmer and let it melt to release the scent of fig tree—no flame needed. For a subtle fragrance boost, tuck an unmelted oval into drawers or small spaces.
Why Choose a Wax Oval Over a Candle
The Diptyque Figuier wax oval offers the same complex fig scent—warm bark, fresh leaves, and milky sap—without an open flame. It's a safer option for bedrooms, offices, or homes with pets and children, and it's easy to control the intensity by using just a portion of the oval.
Getting the Most from Each Oval
Each oval is designed for multiple uses. When melting in a warmer, you can reuse the same wax until the fragrance fades. For drawers and closets, the oval will slowly release scent over several weeks—just keep it away from direct sunlight and heat to prolong its life.
How to Use Your Diptyque Wax Oval
- Choose the Right Warmer: Use a wax warmer with a dish that can hold the oval. If your warmer has a large dish, you can place the whole oval; for smaller dishes, break off a piece. Avoid using a warmer with a high temperature that could scorch the wax. Check that the warmer's dish is heat-safe and the right size before starting.
- Melt the Wax: Place the oval (or a piece) in the warmer and turn it on. The wax will melt slowly, releasing the fig scent. It may take 10-15 minutes to fully melt. Don't leave the warmer unattended for long periods. Start with a small piece to gauge the scent strength before adding more.
- Use Without Heat for Subtle Scent: Place an unmelted oval in a drawer, closet, or small shelf to fragrance linens and clothing. The scent will be subtle and last for several weeks. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent the wax from softening. For a stronger effect, place the oval in a closed space like a drawer.
- Store and Reuse: After melting, let the wax cool and solidify. You can reuse it until the fragrance fades. Store leftover pieces in a cool, dry place in their original packaging or a sealed bag to retain scent. When the scent becomes faint, it's time to replace the wax.
