Among men, the common conundrum faced with buying candles is that the market is swamped with feminine, twee scents that are less 'distinctive gentleman' than 'old lady with a house full of cats'. Lavender candles and rose petals are all fine for some, but what about the man who wants a candle whose scent is intense yet not particularly saccharine, and a design that is sophisticated yet simple?
Enter Baobab collection. Baobab collection was born from Belgian designer Valerie Bietlot's experiences living in South Africa. Inspired by the majestic landscapes of Tanzania with its intense colours and enchanting perfumes, Baobab underlines its African heritage with fragrances such as White Rhino, Serengeti Plains, Masaai Spirit, and Miombo Woodlands.
White Rhino, Serengeti Plains, Masaai Spirit, and Miombo Woodlands in Max 10. 1ocm high, 50og, 60 burning hours.
Encre De Chine and Cuir De Russie in Max 16. 16cm high, 1.2kg, 150 burning hours.
Other evocative scents beyond the African plains include Encre De Chine (India Ink) and Cuir De
Russie (Russian Leather), the latter of which would be very much suited to a masculine study for a gentleman or at home to a bachelor's pad. One can already imagine which cigar to complement the candles with, or what colour suit would perfectly match the inky depth of Encre De Chine's matt black body.
Baobab Platinum in Max 40, 16, 10. Max 40 is 40 cm high, 7.5 kg, and 800 burning hours.
The platinum range has the same exceptional finishing and perfect lines of its glass brothers, with an extra touch--it quietly oozes luxury with the high shine of platinum, a metal far rarer than gold.
