Henri - Babel's founder on why he started Babel
Nothing else came close.
I was very particular about what I wanted from a candle. I obviously wanted it to smell great, but not at the expense of my indoor air quality, or the environment. It also had to look good and transport me somewhere else entirely.
When I started digging, I uncovered a whole lot of clever marketing, and that was about it. No genuine quality ingredients, little-to-no ingredient transparency, and some questionable sourcing. All wrapped up in very excessive, wasteful packaging for a candle that ultimately ended up in landfill.
With that, I decided to make my own. Those countless hours devoted to creating the perfect candle eventually evolved into Babel as it is today.

Ingredients
The scent
Whispers of lazy, fireside conversations in the warm, aromatic breeze of twilight. A fleeting hint of citrus and pink pepper, a warm, resinous heart of myrrh, benzoin, and frankincense, a smoky base of cade, grounded with nagarmotha root and vetiver.

Candle care
- Trim the wick to 5mm before each use to encourage clean burning.
- Burn on a flat, non-flammable surface. On the first use, burn until the melt pool reaches the container edge to avoid tunnelling.
- Don't touch the candle container when hot, to avoid burns. Keep away from children, pets and flammable materials.
- Cover candle with the dust cover when not in use to preserve the scent and minimise dust from collecting on the surface.
