Likambote!  In the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Kuba people have long woven raffia palm into cloth of extraordinary artistry. The cloth is dyed, embroidered and patterned by hand, and each design carries the memory of a community and its kingdom.

This candle is our homage to that legacy. Shea butter and raw honey open warm and golden, lifted by the bright zest of Valencia orange and rounded with a soft breath of nutmeg. It is a scent of sweetness, generosity and welcome, much like a Congolese evening shared with family, when music plays and no one is in a hurry to leave.

Crafted sustainably and with care, it is made for a thoughtful gift, a slow evening in, or a long soak in the bath. Light it and bring a little of the Congo’s warmth and artistry into your home.
