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.  Following the success of the Sacred Trees collections in previous seasons, Baobab has decided to make this collection a permanent edition with a revamped design and new colors on the glass of the scented candles. 5% of sales from this collection will be donated to the Cœur Vert foundation which is dedicated to the protection of the environment and focuses on reforestation. 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.

Inspired by the vibrant lands of the Bounkani region of Côte d’Ivoire, the Bounkani scented candle embodies the soul of a land rich in traditions and contrast. The décor, which pays tribute to the majestic baobab trees, was designed by artists from Uniwax, collaborators with Baobab since the creation of their social and environmental partnership with the Cœur Vert foundation. This scented candle is a decorative object in its own right and an essential piece in the Baobab collection.

Hazelnut Leaves, Green Fig, Sandalwood: The design shares spring-like colors while its contrasting fragrance releases powerful green notes of fig and hazelnut leaf, with an irresistibly seductive sandalwood base. As an art object and as olfactory voyage, the Bounkani candle embodies the union of contemporary design and African cultural heritage for a singular sensory experience.

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.
