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 name Riviera describes the shores of the Mediterranean, stretching from Genoa to the Spanish border. Although the coast is vast and picturesque, the Riviera has become known not just as a seaside resort, but as a style in its own right, from decoration to architecture to fashion.

It’s this art of living that Baobab has tried to convey with the Riviera collection featuring hand-blown glass containers in marshmallow colors, where transparency and color unfold like light bubbles. The names of the candles were inspired by historic villas on the French Riviera, and the fragrances in this collection are original works by perfumer Emilie Bouge using a process similar to soliflore which highlights the Grasse region, and the raw materials harvested in this area.

Villa Leopolda, an emblematic property on the French Rivieria, takes its name from King Leopold II of Belgium, who acquired it in 1902. Situated in the hills above Villefranche-Sur-Mer, it boasts an extraordinary view of the sea and mountains. The transparent glass of the Leopolda scented candle is strewn with pink and sky-blue oval shapes that appear randomly on the glass like floating bubbles. This alchemy of color and transparency is a perfect expression of the skills of the Baobab glass-makers.

Sea Salt, Tuberose, Moss: The fragrance pays homage to the southern flower harvested at the end of summer: jasmine. This floral accord becomes more gourmet with a heart note of violet, an ode to the colors of the glass. It takes on a warm identity thanks to the base note of benzoin resinoid, which gives this fragrance an almost solar subtlety.

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.
