FAQs
What does the Holy Ficus candle smell like?
It features a fig accord blended with Indian spices like cardamom and saffron, layered with frankincense, cedar, and ginger root. It aims to evoke a sense of ancient wisdom and serenity.
How long does the candle typically burn?
While burn times can vary based on environmental factors, a 7 oz candle is designed to provide a substantial burn time, often in the range of 50-60 hours when properly cared for.
Where is the candle made?
This candle is proudly made in the United States.
Can I use this candle in a large room?
While it can be used in larger rooms, the scent throw may be more subtle. For a more pronounced effect in very large spaces, consider using multiple candles or placing it in a more concentrated area.
What is the inspiration behind the Holy Ficus scent?
The scent is inspired by the revered fig tree (Bodhi tree) associated with enlightenment and spiritual significance in various traditions.
How should I care for the candle to ensure the best scent experience?
Always trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn, ensure a full melt pool on the first burn, and keep the candle away from drafts.
Troubleshooting
Uneven burning or tunneling
Ensure the wick is trimmed to 1/4 inch before each use. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the container.
Excessive smoke or soot
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Make sure the candle is not placed in a drafty area. Avoid blowing out the flame; use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the wax pool.
Weak scent throw
Ensure the wick is trimmed and the candle is burning long enough to create a full melt pool. Check that the room is not excessively large or drafty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, and direct sunlight. Ensure the wick is centered before the first use.
Compatibility: This candle is designed for ambient scenting in indoor spaces. It is compatible with most home environments.
Care:
- First Burn: Allow the wax to melt evenly to the edges of the container (a full melt pool) on the first burn to prevent tunneling. This typically takes 2-4 hours.
- Wick Maintenance: Before each use, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch. This helps prevent smoking and ensures a cleaner, more even burn.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool to extinguish the flame. Avoid blowing it out, as this can cause smoke and soot.
- Storage: Store the candle in a cool, dry place with the lid on to preserve its fragrance.
