Description

The Black Gold Grand Candle is a statement home fragrance piece, designed to bring atmosphere, glow, and refined presence into your space.
Crafted in a generous 16.9 oz (500 ml) glass vessel with a triple cotton wick, each candle is hand-poured in South Africa using a soy wax blend and fine perfume oils imported from the Grasse region of France.

Once finished, the elegant Cape Island glass vessel can be rinsed and reused or recycled.

Fragrance Notes

Dark rum, tobacco, honey

Base Notes:
Oud

A richly layered fragrance where gourmand notes open with warmth and intrigue, then deepen into tobacco and the smooth, resinous pull of oud.

Inspiration & Social Impact

In 1932, a golden rhino artifact was discovered in the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe, Africa. The Black Gold collection honors Africa’s natural wealth and the royalty of its first kingdoms. It also pays homage to the endangered wildlife of the African continent. A rhino adorns the packaging as a tribute to the ancient African kingdoms.

Use & Care

Place your candle on a heat resistant surface before lighting.
Trim the wick slightly before each burn to help maintain an even flame.
Allow the wax to melt to the edges during use for a more even burn.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects.
Our premium soy blend's high-fragrance load can naturally develop bronze sheens on glass—a signature of hand-poured South African artistry. Perfectly safe, no performance impact.
Once finished, the glass vessel can be rinsed and reused or recycled.
