Carriere Freres Fig Tree Scented Candle 185g One Size

Carriere Freres' fig tree scented candle is inspired by the tree's multifaceted oil, which fascinated botanists and explorers in the 18th century. Crafted in cire trudon's lauded factory, Carriere Freres candles are a token of history, from the traditional manufacturing techniques used to make them to the individual ancient botanicals on which each scent is based. The fig tree or 'ficus carica' of the moracae family typically grows on the mediterranean basin, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. First harvested under louis xiv, la quintinie, the king's gardener, planted over seven hundred fig trees of different varieties in the king's versailles gardens to satisfy his taste buds. In this candle, its oil is distilled into a high quality wax blend which, when melted, releases the poetic language exclusively spoken by nature.
