Pacifica Mediterranean Fig Soy Candle

An earthy and green combination of palm, cyclamen, sweet fig, moss, and clove set in a base of woody sandalwood. 10.5 oz candle. The fig symbolizes the continuous flow of time and offers a wish for long life. In legend, it was the Greek goddess Demeter who first revealed these "fruits of autumn" to mortals. Native to areas from Asiatic Turkey to northern India, figs have spread to every Mediterranean country. References to the fig appear throughout the Bible, and the fruit was a favorite of Cleopatra. In Athens every inhabitant was known as a "philosykos," which, literally translated, means "a friend of the fig." Although considered a fruit, the fig is actually a flower inverted into itself.  Pacifica Soy Candles are made with their exclusive vegetable soy wax blend. Soy is a natural, clean burning, renewable resource that is also the best way to carry a fragrance in a container candle. Every Pacifica soy candle burns slowly, creating a warm pool of wax that generously fragrances the air.
