Sacred Trees Cocody Candle
Basil, Jasmin, Patchouli
Limited Edition
(H 10) cm

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.

Journey to the heart of Africa and immerse yourself in the history of its sacred baobab trees. These giant trees, as majestic as they are imposing, are linked to mankind and African history.

The Sacred Trees collection of scented candles comes in 3 glass colors enhanced with a design of the baobab tree.  A new design has been created exclusively for Baobab by Uniwax artists for this second edition of the Sacred Trees Summer candles collection. This limited-edition collection was created in partnership with the Cœur Vert foundation, which is dedicated to the protection of the environment and focuses on reforestation. 5% of sales from this collection will be donated to the Cœur Vert foundation. Recent editions of the Sacred Trees collection have aided a reforestation program in the north of the Ivory Coast, as well as the replanting of 30,000 trees and creating a vegetable garden to assist women in rural communities.

Cocody is a municipality located more than a hundred kilometers from Abidjan on the Ivory Coast. A new baobab design has been created by the artists at Abidjan-based wax fabric printing company Uniwax. This more figurative design reveals a rich baobab forest where flora and fauna live in perfect harmony. The glass decoration on the Cocody candle, featuring a design of yellow baobabs on a grey background, was created in Italy using a glass sublimation method. The design is printed with natural pigments, then delicately placed around the glass which fuses to the material. The richness of the design then comes to life with the flame, subtly revealed via its transparency.

Basil, Jasmin, Patchouli: The fragrance of the Cocody candle is an aromatic scent, with fresh notes of basil that reveal a very green jasmine, harvested in midsummer on the hills of Grasse.

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 collections are inspired by faraway places and wild nature, but it is in Belgium that the new creations are dreamed up. 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. Baobab Collection’s candles are known for their size and original designs. They are extraordinary objects providing an olfactory and aesthetic experience, crafted using materials that are carefully selected and sourced across Europe and created by the best European artisans.
