The Sappho Fig Boxed Glass Candle features a fruity Mediterranean-inspired scent built around fig, crushed leaves, and sun-ripened fruit, with a creamy base of woods and spice. Its cotton wick is designed for an even, consistent burn, with care instructions recommending a full wax pool on the first light to preserve the candle's longevity. The glass vessel sits on a heat-safe base and comes boxed, making it a considered addition to any candle collection.
Sappho Fig (Fruity): In the Greek island of Lesbos, home to the gardens of ancient poetess Sappho, the sensuous aroma of Fig trees hangs thick in the warm Mediterranean air. It arrives at the peak of Summer, invoking a milky greenness that mingles with the fresh aroma of crushed leaves and a hint of sun-ripened fruit. Known as the architect of longing, Sappho wrote not of love conquered, but of love suspended. It's in this very threshold that this scent lives, conjuring the intoxicating window of time in the Greek isles when the air is still green, the Fig is just ripe, and a creamy whisper of woods and spice hint at something deeper. A romantic offering to beauty and desire, materialized. For the best burn experience, keep the following in mind: The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for a larger candle, this may take several hours. Wax has " memory," so if it is extinguished with a partial pool, that will prevent a full, even pool from forming in the future. Trim your wick each time you light the candle, removing any " bloom" from the previous burn. We recommend lighting a wick that is 1/4-1/2" in length. Ensure that your candle is placed on a heat-safe surface. Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool. To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the bottom of your candle for additional instructions, including details on when to discontinue use.
