FAQs
How long should I burn the candle for the first time?
It is recommended to burn the candle until the entire surface becomes liquid wax, which usually takes about 2-3 hours.
Is the ceramic vessel reusable?
Yes, once all the wax is gone, you can carefully remove any remaining residue and use the vessel for storage or as a small planter.
Can I leave the candle burning for more than 4 hours?
It is generally advised not to burn candles for more than 4 hours at a time to maintain the integrity of the wick and wax.
How do I remove soot from the edge of the ceramic?
Wipe the interior edge gently with a clean, damp cloth once the vessel has completely cooled.
What is the scent profile of the Figuier candle?
It features a blend of green fig leaves, sun-drenched fig wood, and the creamy richness of the fig fruit.
Troubleshooting
The candle is tunneling (wax is melting only around the wick).
Burn the candle for a longer duration on the next use, ideally 3-4 hours, until the entire top layer of wax becomes liquid.
The flame is too high or producing smoke.
Extinguish the candle, let it cool completely, and trim the wick to 1/4 inch before relighting.
Fragrance throw feels weak.
Ensure the candle is placed in an area with minimal airflow, such as away from vents or fans, and keep the burn time consistent.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Figuier candle, trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch before every use to prevent flickering and soot buildup. When extinguishing, use a snuffer rather than blowing it out to keep the wax pool clean. Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface away from curtains, books, or other flammable objects. Given the ceramic vessel's design, it may become hot during extended use, so handle with care once extinguished. Once the wax is depleted, the high-quality ceramic container can be cleaned with warm, soapy water and repurposed as a small plant pot or a desk organizer.
