Greenman Woodwick Soy Candle – Fig & Cassis

Dark fruit with a floral middle. Crushed Fig & Cassis opens with blackcurrant, green fig leaf, and juicy plum — a rich, berry-heavy top that reads immediately as autumnal and luxurious. The heart moves into crushed fig, rose, and jasmine, adding floral softness that prevents the fruit from becoming jammy. Cedarwood, amber, and musk close it out with warmth. This is the most layered scent in the Greenman Rituals range — more ingredients, more transitions, more complexity than any of the others. Hand-poured soy wax, wooden wick, green glass jar with cork lid. 150g. Approximately 26 hours of burn time. The Scent in Detail The opening is blackcurrant, green fig leaf, and plum. Blackcurrant is the dominant note — tart, rich, slightly sharp. Green fig leaf adds a fresh, sappy quality that keeps the fruit from feeling like a cordial or jam. Plum rounds it out with something heavier and juicier. Together, these read as a late-summer hedgerow rather than a fruit basket: there's wildness in the scent rather than sweetness. The heart introduces crushed fig, rose, and jasmine. This is where the candle distinguishes itself from a purely fruity fragrance. Rose and jasmine are classic floral heart notes — they add elegance and slow the scent down from the bright fruit opening. Crushed fig connects back to the fig leaf in the top while being richer and sweeter. This middle section is what makes the candle feel sophisticated rather than simple. The base is cedarwood, amber, and musk — the same warm woody territory that anchors several candles in this range. Here it serves as a platform for the fruit and florals rather than a feature in its own right. The amber adds a honeyed warmth; the musk gives the base some presence without pulling focus from the fruit. The supplier spells it "Casis" — the standard spelling is "cassis" (French for blackcurrant, from Ribes nigrum). Either way, the blackcurrant note is prominent and identifiable.
