DS & Durga – Holy Ficus Candle

DS & Durga Holy Ficus Candle: Holy Ficus is a loose fantasy based on the this tree. We took a classic fig accord and draped it in ginger, saffron, frankincense, and cardamom. It fills the room with a Indian spices, wonderful fruit, and hopefully a faded memory of something larger. Top Notes: cardamom, frankincense. Heart Notes: fig, cedar. Base Notes: ginger root, saffron.

The revered fig tree of Siddhartha and Lord KṚṢṆA. Silently watch the flame for 7 hours and you may spy liberation.

“India is in our DNA. It is Kavi’s motherland and it has always called to me. It is a big source of inspiration for the brand. The Bodhi—a holy fig tree—is revered in India for its association with Lord Krishna. It is also the tree Gotama Buddha received enlightenment under. You can still visit the place where the tree stood (and stands replanted) in the Bihar state.” – D.S.

DS & Durga believes the power of scent is equal to that of sight and sound. A great perfume is a keyhole into another realm; an invisible landscape that you can enter and explore any time. Candles are made from soy-vegetable wax and use a cotton wick. Glasses candle vessels are meant to be reused and repurposed.
