Product Insights
Flambette's Fig and Cypress scented candle delivers a subtle ambient aroma inspired by Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée, crafted from 100% pure soy wax with a patented wooden wick that crackles softly and melts evenly for a realistic 50-hour burn time. The fragrance is paraben- and phthalate-free, and the wax is petroleum-free, renewable, and cleaner-burning than paraffin. Hand-poured in micro-batches, the candle's natural soy wax frosting is concealed by a frosted glass jar that can be repurposed. It produces minimal soot and no known toxic compounds, and the Fig + Cypress scent is part of a permanent collection, always available for repurchase. Each order is carefully wrapped as a gift.
