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 Collection candle is hand-poured in multiple pouring phases into glass containers that have been hand-blown by master craftsmen, making each candle completely unique.
Inspired by the history of the Italian Renaissance, the Borgia limited-edition collection pays tribute to this era by channeling the well-known family of tastemakers and patrons: the Borgia family. The collection shares three bewitching fragrances based on three characters from that era whose erudition and vision is inseparable from Italy’s history of passion and intrigue. The Borgia collection containers highlight a decorative technique applied to glass which was invented in Murano in the 16th century, each engraved with diagonals and flowers.
Named for Cesar Borgia, whose political mastery inspired Machiavelli in his text The Prince. Cesar concentrated his interest on the art of war with his military engineer, Leonardo da Vinci. His efforts reinforced the pontifical power to imagine Italy as a united entity.
Incense, Cedar, Amber: The fragrance of incense, cedar and amber takes you back in time to this historical character's enigmatic, seductive universe.
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 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 Collection tree in the African savannah which inspired its name, each candle from Baobab Collection 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.
