Every piece is designed as a decorative object in its own right, at the intersection of design, fragrance, and luxury living.

Baobab Collection first saw the light of day in the enchanting landscape of Tanzania in 2002. If the collections of handmade scented candles and diffusers are inspired by faraway space and wild nature, it is in Belgium that the new creations are dreamed up, a country recognized for its creativity and minimalist chic. The Belgian brand finds unlimited inspirations through the wonders of the world. Each Baobab Collection is a story teller, an invitation to discover olfactive journeys and aestethic experiences. Every candle is produced by hand in our own « atelier » with a great attention to details and using the best raw materials sourced in Europe, which makes every Baobab Collection candle a unique luxury product.
