🕯️
Of all the candle scents I’ve tried, the diptyque’s figuier is my favorite. It's a perfectly subtle scent of figs growing along the coastal towns of the Mediterranean. Somehow, the deep tones from the fig scent keep it relevant to burn all through the fall, even after its peak “Mediterranean summer” time has eclipsed. On the topic of candles - in our discord, someone was recently asking for tips on preventing tunneling, and I figured why not spread our wealth of knowledge? When you first burn your candle, it’s better to let it melt the entire first layer of wax, to the edge. This is because wax has a “memory” and will have difficulty burning past edges that weren’t initially melted. If you do find yourself facing those feared tunnels - you can try to correct it by wrapping your candle in some tin foil, worked for me on my Feu de Bois.
