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. Fragrance A sensuous and refreshing aroma of green stems, leaves, and sun-ripened fruit, invoking the milky greenness of the Fig, in its totality. As it evolves, a creamy whisper of woods and spice ground the scent — revealing notes of Cardamom and Sandalwood. 100% Vegetable Wax Cotton Wick Fully Recyclable Glass Hand Poured in Los Angeles. Candle Care When burning your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2 to 3 hours, until the top layer of the wax has completely melted. This will prevent the wax from tunneling around the wick. When burning the candle after the first burn, do not let it burn for over 3 hours at a time. Ideally, we recommend keeping the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to prevent the candle from emitting smoke or the wick falling into the wax. After each burn, see that the wick is centered in the wax. This will also ensure that the glass does not overheat. The wick and flame should never be touching the glass. When approaching the end of the candle, leave ¼ inch of wax unburned and ensure you are not burning the candle for more than 3 hours. The glass can get overheated without the presence of wax and break.
