La Montana’s Fig Grove candle
Ripe fig trees and jasmine. There’s a rocky trail from our house to the next village, and on a hot day it’s a treat for the senses all the way. 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.
La Montaña candles are 30cl, 220gms (minimum 40 hours burn), individually hand-poured by artisan candlemakers in the UK.
How to use
The first time you light your scented candle, let it burn until all the wax on the surface has become liquid.
Trim the wick before each use.
When extinguishing the candle, ensure the wick is upright and centred for next time.
Do not burn for longer than 4 hours.
Never leave a lit candle unattended, or in a breeze.
Ingredients
The candle wax is finest quality (German) mineral wax, sulphur- and paraben-free. Mineral wax is a by-product of petroleum refining and is therefore an ‘upcycled’ material.
Mineral wax is universally acknowledged to give the best fragrance ‘throw’, both hot and cold.
We use 10-12% 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%.
