Fig & Vetiver Candle

Description

Fig leaf rather than fig fruit: green, a little milky, cut with the dry grass smell of vetiver root. It opens bright and settles into something quieter and earthier over the first hour. The 6.5 oz size is for a bedside table, a bathroom shelf or a desk.

Details

• 6.5 oz / 185 g, roughly 40 hours of burn time
• Coconut-soy wax blend, 7% fragrance load, phthalate-free
• Lead-free cotton wick, hand-centred
• Reusable glass vessel with a cork lid
• Fig leaf, vetiver, bergamot, a trace of coconut milk
• Hand-poured in Lexington, South Carolina

How to burn

• On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the vessel (about 2 hours) so it never tunnels
• Trim the wick to 1/4 in before every burn and keep it centred
• Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, and never leave a candle unattended
• Stop when 1/2 in of wax remains; the vessel is glass and can be washed out and reused
