A dip in the path brings you to a grove of ripe fig trees, where you fall under the heady spell of the fruit, bark and leaves, mingled with the fragrance of a nearby cascade of wild jasmine in full flower.

All individually hand-poured by artisan candlemakers in the uk, gift-boxed. Each candle is fitted with an etched, stainless-steel lid.

The wax is a blend of 100% natural waxes - sustainably sourced organic soy, rapeseed and beeswax, and is sulphur-free and paraben-free.

We use 11 - 12% fragrance oil in each candle (including a high percentage of natural and essential oils), more than the market standard, even in luxury brands, of 8 - 10%.
