Wild Fig & Cassis Scented Candle
'Wild Fig & Cassis' is a timeless, sophisticated fragrance that captures the essence of the Mediterranean. It balances the luscious, juicy sweetness of ripe wild figs and tart cassis (blackcurrants) with a grounding base of warm woods and amber.
This is not a sugary fruit scent; it is earthy, green, and complex. Enhanced by a sustainable wooden wick, this candle creates a multi-sensory experience. As the flame dances, the wick gently crackles like dry twigs underfoot in a warm forest, filling your home with an atmosphere of relaxed, rustic luxury.

🍃 The Scent Journey
This fragrance evolves beautifully as it burns, revealing different layers of the orchard:
-
🍒 Top Notes: Cassis, Cherry, and Fresh Grass.
(The first impression: sharp, leafy green freshness and tart berries.) -
🟣 Mid Notes: Wild Fig, Hyacinth, and Cyclamen.
(The heart: a milky, sweet warmth of ripening fruit and soft florals.) -
🪵 Base Notes: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Amber, and Musk.
(The lingering trail: earthy, woody, and deeply comforting.)
🔥 Why Choose a Wooden Wick?
We have swapped traditional cotton for natural wood to elevate your candle experience:
- 🔊 The Crackle: The gentle snapping sound mimics a log fire, adding an acoustic layer of relaxation to the scent.
- 💨 Better Scent Throw: The wider flame creates a larger melt pool faster, releasing the complex fig and wood notes more effectively into the room.
- 🌍 Sustainable: Our wicks are sourced from FSC-certified mills, ensuring responsible forest management.

🕯️ Usage Guide: Wooden Wick Care
The First Burn: Light the wick across its entire width. Let it burn until the wax melts all the way to the glass edges (approx 2-3 hours) to prevent tunnelling.
The "Pinch": Before re-lighting, the wick must be short (3-4mm). Simply pinch off the black charred wood with your fingers once the candle is cool. This ensures a clean burn and the best crackle.
My Recommended Scent Companions
Layer your home fragrance for a complete sensory experience:
- 🍊 Cranberry & Orange Candle: The Fruity Match. If you love the fruit notes in Fig & Cassis, try the brighter, zestier Cranberry & Orange for the kitchen or morning burning.
- 🍯 Dark Honey & Tobacco: The Warmth Match. If you prefer the woody base notes, Dark Honey & Tobacco offers a similarly rich, cosy vibe but with a sweeter, smokier finish.
⚠️ Safety Warning
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable items. Place on a heat-resistant surface as the glass can become warm.
