FAQs
What makes Baobab Collection candles so special?
Baobab candles are hand-decorated using traditional glassmaking techniques—each vessel is mouth-blown, hand-painted, or finished with marbled effects, making every piece unique. Unlike mass-produced candles, Baobab uses premium mineral wax blended with carefully curated fragrances for exceptional scent diffusion and clean, even burns. The result is a luxury candle that serves as both home fragrance and sculptural decor, designed to be displayed long after the wax is gone.
Which size candle is right for me?
Max 10 (4" / 10cm) works best for smaller rooms like bathrooms or offices and burns for approximately 60 hours. Max 16 (6.3" / 16cm) suits living rooms and bedrooms with 150 hours of burn time. Max 24 (9.4" / 24cm) and Max 35 (13.8" / 35cm) are statement pieces for large spaces or outdoor entertaining, burning for 400+ and 800+ hours respectively.
What scent families are available, and how do I choose?
Baobab scents range from fresh and woody (Black Pearls, Stones) to floral and exotic (Totem, Aurum) to travel-inspired (Travel From Home collection featuring destinations like Tulum and Mykonos). Choose based on your room's purpose: fresh scents for living areas, warm woody notes for bedrooms, and lighter florals for bathrooms or entryways.
Are Baobab candles worth the investment?
Yes—with burn times ranging from 60 to 800+ hours depending on size, hand-decorated glass vessels you'll keep forever, and scent quality that fills entire rooms without being overpowering, Baobab candles deliver exceptional value. Many collectors display the empty vessels as decorative objects or repurpose them as planters and vases.
How do I care for my Baobab candle?
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use. Burn for 2-3 hours minimum during first use to establish an even wax pool and prevent tunneling. Keep away from drafts and never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Clean soot marks on glass with a soft cloth. After the candle is finished, clean the vessel with hot water and soap to reuse as décor.
What makes Baobab glass vessels unique?
Each Baobab vessel is hand-decorated using techniques like mouth-blowing, hand-painting, platinum plating, and marbled glass applications. The decorative finishes—from iridescent pearls to geometric patterns to precious metal accents—are applied by artisans, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. The glass quality is comparable to fine crystal, designed to be kept and displayed indefinitely.
Which rooms are best for Baobab candles?
Baobab candles work in every room. Max 10 for powder rooms and home offices, Max 16 for bedrooms and dining rooms, Max 24 for living rooms and open-concept spaces, and Max 35 for outdoor patios or grand entryways. The decorative vessels enhance any interior style from modern minimalist to classic luxury.
Do Baobab candles have clean burn quality?
Yes—Baobab uses premium mineral wax (not paraffin) blended with high fragrance concentrations for exceptional scent throw without smoking or sooting when properly maintained. The multi-wick design (3-5 wicks depending on size) ensures even burning and prevents wax from sticking to vessel sides.
Can I use Baobab vessels after the candle is finished?
Absolutely. Many Baobab collectors purchase the candles specifically for the vessels, which become permanent home décor. Popular reuses include vases, planter pots, makeup brush holders, or simply display objects. The hand-decorated glass is meant to be kept and cherished long after the wax is gone.
