Botanical Candle in Fig Tree - Ficus Carica

Grown for thousands of years in the Mediterranean, the common fig tree, a member of the Moraceae family, emerged in France under Louis XIV. La Quintinie, his gardener, had 700 fig trees planted in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles to satisfy his passion. Weight: 185g / 6.5 oz. Burning time: 40 to 45 hours Dimensions: H: 9 cm Ø: 7.5 cm Never leave a lit candle unattended, and do not burn one for more than 2 hours at a time. Always burn a candle until the entire surface liquifies, and allow it to solidify before re-lighting. Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch at all times, to avoid any black smoke. Gently re-position the wick while the wax is still molten. Always protect the surface on which the candle rests. Once only ¼ inch of wax remains, blow out the candle and let it fully cool before safely discarding it.
