Cape Island’s African storm collection introduces delectable winter candles and home fragrances; the perfect escape from our fast-paced world.
Inspired by the most simple pleasures in life; a walk through nature or a crackling fire on a winter evening, these divine fragrances offer the ideal accompaniment to an intimate dinner party or a quiet evening at home getting lost in a good book.
The dynamic scent is a floral infusion blended with softer tones of Bergamot, Geranium, and Vanilla, with notes of Rose, Woody Sandalwood, and Cedar. This olfactory indulgence transports one to the greenery of the countryside, reminiscent of vast rustling golden leaves in autumn, and a quiet time with loved ones. The beauty of the scent is subtly unforgettable, similar to that of the immortal spirit.
Cape Island’s artwork is embellished by the symbol of the water-loving matriarchal elephant, acknowledging the courageous spirit of women. A percentage of proceeds from the sale of selected candles are donated to a group of non-profit organisations in Africa, a clever allusion to the long-lasting effect of a silent yet powerful feminine scent.
The brand is proudly 100% female-owned, focusing on high-quality natural ingredients. The products are both designed and made locally here on South African soil. Africa is their original muse, and each item they produce connects one to the natural landscape and the many cultures which inhabit it. As an environmentally and socially responsible company, their mission is to be a force for positive change in the community and continent.
