"Bal d’Afrique is one of my earliest fragrances. At the time of its formulation, I was obsessed with the translation of memories into scent. At the same time, I felt confident enough to include an imaginary component. My father lived and travelled in Africa for about 10-15 years. I would read his diaries; the way he travelled on freight ships, met all kinds of different people… For me, this was the fantasy of arriving in Africa through somebody else’s words. Bal d’Afrique reflects that; it’s an imaginary journey as well as a complete celebration of how I see African culture and its influence."

Bal d'Afrique is Ben Gorham's tribute to Africa, where beauty and fantasy meet. Through dance, art, and music, this 'love letter' celebrates the diverse cultures and lasting impact of the continent over time. It's like a fantastical event brought to life.

What Makes Us Different

Craftsmanship & Philosophies

Glassblowing is an ancient technique that is used to shap each of our signature Kandl blue vessels. Our hand-poured candles and carefully selected wicks are exquisite masterpieces of design and luxury. All of our signature Kandl blue vessel candles are assembled locally in Toronto, Canada in small batches and each carry its own unique characteristic - no two handblown glass vessels are exactly the same.

Materials & Testing

We use only the cleanest and finest ingredients that have been rigorously tested, ensuring only the cleanest and safest are used. Our quality highly fragrant wax blend holds more fragrance than traditional candles.

Development & Quality

With over 40 years of history in the candle industry our sophisticated fragrances have been developed with the top fragrance houses in the world. We believe that the essence of a candle comes from the attention given to the intricate details in the process of its creation.

Community & Involvement

We are dedicated to giving back to the community and supporting charitable local organizations. We are especially devoted to contributing to Sunnybrook Hospital through, Chefs’ Circle Dinner Series, in support of Sunnybrook’s world-renowned researchers and clinical teams in discovering game-changing new treatments and providing patients with world-class care when it matters most.
