Figs have been a luxurious sweet treat, prized for centuries. The plump, sun-warmed fruit grows in the Middle East and the Mediterranean and the fragrance has been popular in perfumery for the last 25 years thanks to its complex mixture of plump, jammy notes and the cooler green scent provided by the leaves.
Almost all of the home fragrance brands we love have a fig candle in their lineup – this is because the scent lends itself to creating a relaxed and warm environment that’s nostalgic for sun-warmed, hazy days. Here we’ve rounded up our favourite fig scented candles, from the decadently sweet, creamy and spiced, to the green and woody.
