Oddity No. 4 opens with the lush sweetness of ripe fig, immediately tempered by a flash of sea salt. The effect is striking — sweet meets brine, softness cut by mineral edge. It’s familiar for a moment, then instantly unsettled.
As the candle develops, brown sugar deepens the fig’s richness, grounding the sweetness without smoothing it out. A saline note from Sel de Mer pulls the scent toward the coast — airy, mineral, and faintly metallic — creating tension between warmth and sharpness.
Threaded through the blend is a subtle acidity, achieved through bergamot — bright, citrusy, and faintly bitter. It mimics the idea of vinegar rather than announcing it outright: a tang at the edges, a mouthwatering sharpness that keeps the scent awake and alive.
The result is a fragrance that challenges expectation:
sweet but saline, bright yet savory, elegant and unapologetically strange.
Salted Fig & Vinegar is an olfactory provocation — inspired by preserved fruit, coastal air, and culinary contrasts. It’s not meant to blend in or soothe; it’s meant to spark curiosity, conversation, and delight in the unexpected. A candle for those who crave tension, nuance, and scents that refuse to behave.
