Frequently Asked Questions
What is Baobab Collection?
Baobab Collection is a Belgian luxury home fragrance house founded in 2002, drawing its inspiration from the landscapes, colors, and spirit of Africa.
What distinguishes Baobab Collection from other luxury candle brands?
Baobab Collection is a true pioneer of the large multi-wick scented candle, elevating the candle from a functional object to a work of decorative art. Each fragrance vessel is mouth-blown in hand-formed art glass, making every piece entirely unique.
Why are Baobab Collection candles considered collector's objects?
Each Baobab candle is housed in a hand-blown art glass vessel of museum-worthy beauty, designed to be retained and displayed long after the wax is spent. The brand’s large 4-wick candles are also celebrated for their extraordinary longevity, lasting up to an astonishing 800 hours for the largest sizes.
What fragrances and collections does Baobab offer?
Baobab offers a richly curated portfolio of fragrances evoking destinations, landscapes, and sensory experiences, such as the aromatic jasmine, mint, and maté of the Feathers Touareg. Thematic lines include Feathers, Leaves, Gentlemen, Women, and the iconic Max series.
What product categories does Baobab Collection carry?
Beyond its signature candles, Baobab offers interior diffusers, home sprays, travel candle trios, gift sets, and candle cloches. The full collection spans sizes from intimate travel companions to monumental statement pieces worthy of the grandest interiors.
Is Baobab Collection an ideal luxury gift?
Yes. Baobab Collection occupies a rare category: objects of genuine art and craft that also fill a room with extraordinary fragrance. A Baobab candle carries the refinement and personality of a truly considered present, and Kneen & Co is available to assist with custom orders and gift curation.
How should Baobab candles be used and maintained?
For the finest experience, allow the candle to burn until the wax surface is fully and evenly melted before extinguishing to prevent tunneling and preserve the fragrance. We recommend trimming the wick before each use and pairing with Baobab’s glass cloche accessory to retain the fragrance between burns.
