For a lot of people, Diptyque makes the quintessential "status candle": storied, French, and housed in a glass cup that's beautiful enough to have a second life as a desktop pen holder long after the wax is gone. It also smells pretty fantastic. In short, the hype is real. Figuier is the scent of Mediterranean fig trees, woody and green and softly fruity. (Rumor has it that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, burned it before and during the Royal Wedding.) The fragrance is great on its own, but Diptyque also suggests layering scents by lighting a couple of varieties at once for a more complex, that-smells-so-good-but-what-is-it effect. This one pairs nicely with Cypres or Opopanax.
