Baobab Collection - Cuir de Russie Max35 Candle

Baobab Cuir de Russie Max35 Candle: According to legend, Russian leather first appeared at the time of the tsars. Having galloped through the endless steppes of Russia, a Cossack warrior gathered around a campfire at nightfall with his fellow riders. He then came up with the idea of rubbing his leather boots with birch bark to make them waterproof. This diffused an extraordinary smell that immediately enchanted all of the riders.

An exceptional fragrance was immediately released into the air, as the riders all fell hopelessly in love with its incredible scent. A blend of vetiver and moss uplifted by a hint of musk, the Cuir de Russie scent conjures up the memory of a comforting wood fire.

Just like the baobabs overlooking the African savannah, Baobab Collection’s candles and diffusers, made of either hand-blown glass or metal upholstered in precious leather, are known for their size and original designs. They are extraordinary objects providing an olfactory and aesthetic experience. Baobab Collection candles are hand-poured into glass that is hand-blown by master craftsmen, making each one completely unique. A black ribbon with the brand’s logo is then added to every candle before it is wrapped in an elegant black box.
