    The AFRICA COLLECTION

    Each year, The House of Opulence creates a limited edition scented candle collection. This year, we found our inspiration in African textile prints. We love its colorfulness, each pattern telling its own story, often a reflection of Africa’s impressive nature.
    On our travels, we have seen these precious prints being worn with pride by the beautiful people of Africa, to whom we pay tribute through this collection. With our candles we spread our light, love and scent and 10% of our revenues go to carefully selected funds helping African communities to build a sustainable future.
    We hope you enjoy the unique perfumes of this scented candle collection, which we blended with pure botanical waxes.
    The Africa Collection consists of five different designs and scents. To check them out, please click here

Sitting on her bed, I would watch her dressing herself and putting on her make-up and delicate perfume. None of it too much, always with subtleness. One of my favourites was her beautiful leather purse. I loved going through it, playing with her lipstick; the little perfume bottle; looking at some family pictures that were inside and from time to time steal a little mint. I vividly remember the scent of her purse, a blend of raw leather, perfume, a hint of vanilla and freshness of something minty.
