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 Folia collection was inspired by a visit to an art exhibition featuring works by two of the 20th century’s leading artists, Matisse and Bonnard. The exhibition captured a harmony of mutual love of the south, its colors, its vegetation, and the sea, giving rise to the idea of making ceramic pieces with plant motifs, featured in the creations that make up the Folia collection.
From the design to the finished product, it takes all the skill of the Portuguese craftsmen, who have also sourced organic materials to mold into the earth between the scrubland and the sea. In the name of each ceramic candle, homage is paid to this land of the south, where rocks and shrubs create an admirable ‘tableaux vivants’.
Maquis is the name given to the Mediterranean vegetation consisting of scrub and small shrubs.
The Maquis scented candle is made from handmade ceramic in Portugal. The matte green enamel ceramic exterior is contrasted by a glossy pink enameled interior. The materials contrast and complement each other in this fragrant, sculptural object, making an unusual and elegant decoration for summer homes. The outside of the ceramic is decorated with plant motifs, branches, and leaves, recalling the name of the candle.
Nutmeg, Cinnamon Wood, Galbanum: The fragrance remains in the woody family, with an aromatic top note of nutmeg. It returns to its original identity with cinnamon wood in the heart note, followed by a resinous base note, like that of galbanum, which brings an herbal freshness that’s very pleasant in summer.
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 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.
