Product description
Skoura: The gateway to the desert
A tribute to the largest palm grove in southern Morocco, Skoura, stretching over 27 kilometers of trails where palm trees, douars and kasbahs punctuate this magical and majestic territory.
Many of the kasbahs have been abandoned and stand like historical monuments, where we can imagine the power of the lords who lived there, but also the passage of caravans laden with spices and other marvels.
The kasbah immortalized by Serge Anton almost becomes like a medieval castle, and the photographer’s artistic work is expressed with a finish similar to aged gray paper.
Of the three candles and diffusers in the Orientalist collection, Skoura is probably the one which comes the closest to the unique texture of a museum canvas.With its sublimated glass through which the flame appears.
Fragrance Notes
The Skoura scented candle and its diffuser release a warm, spicy fragrance of cedar, amber and incense.
by Serge Anton
Serge Anton has been part of the brand’s advertising campaigns, engaging with talent for a longtime now.
Baobab Collection and Serge Anton share a love for Africa and Morocco.It was during a trip, inspired by a chance conversation, that the idea came up. Corinne Bensahel, artistic director of Baobab Collection, fell in love with a photograph of Marrakech shot by Serge Anton and asked him if she could transpose it onto glass. The test surpassed all of their expectations, and it was then that this collection began to take shape, combining archival photos of Essaouira with new shots of the Koutoubia or the kasbahs of Skoura. All images are signed by Serge Anton in the spirit of orientalist paintings, a masterful result that delights the soul. In fact, the sales of these candles and diffusers will support Actions@Village and the reconstruction of schools and sanitary blocks in the devastated villages of the Atlas.
