'From Glass To Ceramic'đŻď¸â¨
Excellent craftsmanship with the finest ingredients and material.
Our love for making outstanding candles at Scent Africa involves not just the scents we create but also the craftsmanship of the containers we select. Our switch from glass to ceramic candle containers is a reflection of our dedication to style, ecology, and improving the experience of lighting candles.

Glass, our first love:

For many consumers glass has always been a popular material for candles. Its smooth transparency adds a sophisticated atmosphere to any space while letting you experience the warm dance of light and the blazing flame. Glass has always been a favourite at Scent Africa and our first material for candles because of its many uses and attractive display of our hand-poured candles.
But as we work to develop and adapt to changing tastes, consider environmental effects and a more aesthetically pleasing look, we've come to the realisation that there's still more to discover.
Ceramic, The new girl in town:

Making candles using ceramic candle jars adds a modern, elegant touch. Ceramics help showcase our creativity as the making of the candle also includes the vase being handcrafted which overall adds to the beauty of the creation process. Their uniqueness enhances the overall sensory experience and blends well with the aesthetics of contemporary homes. Ceramic comes from the ground and is made from natural resources. It is completely recyclable due to its natural origin. Because ceramic tiles don't burn or melt, they don't release harmful gases that could harm the environment or your health.
Why the Switch?
Sustainabilityâťď¸: Reusable and long-lasting, ceramics provide a sustainable substitute for single-use glass containers. After the flame is extinguished, the container can be used again as a sophisticated piece of dĂŠcor, a planter, or a container for your favourite treasures.
Heat RetentionđĽ: Because ceramic containers hold heat better than glass, your candle will burn evenly and last longer. To fully experience the depth of our distinctive Scent Africa blends, this also improves the aroma throw.
A New Aestheticđźď¸: From matte earth tones to glossy glazed hues, ceramics provide a wide variety of textures that are ideal for blending in perfectly with the decor of your house while projecting a sense of contemporary sophistication.
You Have a ChoiceđŻď¸
We are aware that everyone has different tastes. For this reason, we will keep carrying a variety of glass for our existing glass purchasers and ceramic candles so you may pick the one that best fits your needs and style.
We can't wait to take you on this journey with us as we develop. There is a place for you in the Scent Africa family, regardless of whether you have been a long-time lover of our glass candles or are interested in trying our ceramic masterpieces.
The shift from glass to ceramic is more than a change in materialâitâs a reflection of our dedication to sustainability, artistry, and enriching your candle experience. So, light a Scent Africa candle, relax, and let the warm glow and captivating fragrances transform your space.
