Description
Baobab Collection candles are created using high quality raw materials sourced in Europe. The glass is crafted in Poland, the mineral wax comes from Germany, and the scents are created and perfected in Grasse. Each Baobab candle is hand-poured in multiple pouring phases into glass containers that have been hand-blown by master craftsmen, making each candle completely unique.
The Heritage collection of scented candles reflects Baobab’s commitment to preserving the exceptional craft of glass engraving, passed down through generations. The art, which is increasingly rare today, finds new life through this collection which honors the craftsmanship and enduring legacy of the artisans. To create each container in the Heritage collection, the stylized design is placed on the glass in a very modern way. Lines and intersection adorn an object where colored transparency and grooves come to life like jewels under the flames. The names of the three candles in this collection pay homage to the architecture of the great Cistercian abbeys, whose marvelous and inspiring architecture convey a telluric energy of breathtaking beauty.
Named for the Abbaye de Fontenay, located in Burgundy France and founded in 1118. The oldest preserved Cistercian abbey in the world provides the inspiration for the Fontenay candle. The glass of the Fontenay scented candle is hand-engraved in the Baobab workshops. An architectural design is etched into the glass, revealing a flame that brings the motif to life. The color of this candle’s glass perfectly matches its woody fragrance.
Incense, Cedarwood, Leather: An invitation to introspection and contemplation, the incense top note escapes into space, setting the tone before giving way to fresh cedar resting on a leathery identity, reminiscent of skin fragrances.
About the Brand
Working with the tagline, “Where luxury home fragrance meets creative design,” Baobab Collection first saw the light of day in 2002, in the enchanting landscape of Tanzania, a country rich in intense colors and bewitching perfumes.

The Baobab Collection finds unlimited inspirations through the wonders of the world. Each candle tells a new story: the name, the perfume, and the materials chosen are closely linked. The Belgian brand is committed to certain values including high-quality craftsmanship and respect for the environment. Like the baobab tree in the African savannah which inspired its name, each candle from Baobab makes an impression and stands out from the ordinary.
