A Homage to Santa Barbara’s Historic Moreton Bay Fig Tree
Founder Alison Genet fondly recalls her first encounter with the Moreton Bay Fig Tree. There she was on her honeymoon standing in awe beneath its vast, dappled canopy. The gentle rustle of leaves overhead and the sunlit pathways beneath inspired this scent profile, inviting you to step under the tree’s embrace in your own home.
Sun-Ripened Fig
At the top of the fragrance, a sweet, honeyed note evokes the warm California sunshine filtering through the fig tree’s leaves. It hints at the tree’s sprawling branches laden with lush, ripe figs—a testament to the region’s fertile climate.
Cherry Blossom
As the candle burns, cherry blossom emerges in the heart of the fragrance, adding a soft, floral sweetness that gently compliments the fig. Think of delicate petals drifting in the light coastal breeze—a reminder of Santa Barbara’s year-round mild weather and natural grace.
California Bamboo + Moss
Finally, the scent settles into the grounding base of California bamboo and moss, creating an earthy finish reminiscent of the cool, shaded ground beneath the tree’s mighty roots. It’s a subtle nod to the city’s coastal groves and quiet woodland pockets, uniting freshness with a calm, reflective air.
