The studio.

Salt & Fig pour out of a beachside Mount Maunganui studio and lean entirely into the fresh-floral end of the spectrum — fig leaf, bergamot, pōhutukawa, sea grass. Their wax loadings are deliberately lighter than most so the candles don't fatigue a small coastal apartment. Sold mostly through the Mount and Pāpāmoa boutiques.

Signature.

Fig leaf, bergamot, pōhutukawa, sea grass

Bay of Plenty makers favour citrus, sea-grass and pōhutukawa — bright, salt-air-friendly scents that pair with the climate. Mount Maunganui has two boutiques worth visiting on a coastal day trip.
