In the world of luxury home fragrance, few brands have turned the scented candle into a design object quite like Baobab Collection. Since Belgian entrepreneur Valérie Bietlot founded the house in 2002, the brand has paired refined fragrance with sculptural glass vessels that feel equally at home in a perfumery or a carefully designed interior.
From the beginning, Baobab Collection treated candles as more than scented accessories. The brand created decorative centerpieces designed to shape the atmosphere of a room. Inspired by landscapes and cultures around the world, its candles feature hand-finished glass vessels and generous proportions that command attention in any setting.
Over the past two decades, these large-format candles have built a loyal international following. Interior designers, collectors, and fragrance enthusiasts appreciate the brand’s distinctive blend of fragrance and design.
Baobab Collection believes scent should influence a room just as deliberately as lighting, artwork, or furniture. To achieve this balance, the brand collaborates with fragrance specialists in Grasse, the historic center of French perfumery. There, perfumers develop each fragrance to complement the visual character of its vessel.
The brand’s newest creation, the Tree of Love scented candle, continues this dialogue between fragrance and design. Its glass container features an intricate gold and multicoloured screen print inspired by the symbolism of the tree of life.
Delicate golden branches stretch across the glass. They intertwine with flowers whose heart-shaped petals create a luminous pattern that feels both elegant and intricate.
When lit, the candle reveals another dimension of its design. The flame illuminates the branches and blossoms from within. Light filters through the decorated glass and creates a warm, layered glow that enhances the atmosphere of the room.
Like many Baobab creations, the Tree of Love candle fits naturally into everyday living. Placed on a dining table, console, or coffee table, it introduces both fragrance and visual warmth to the surrounding space.
While the design gently references themes often associated with Valentine’s Day, the candle ultimately reflects Baobab Collection’s broader philosophy. Fragrance, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design can shape the mood of a home as elegantly as any work of art.
