Coconut & Lime Scented Candle · The Benin Hip Mask · 220g

A scented candle from the Bibianna Benin Heritage Range, inspired by the Benin Hip Mask — a pendant carved from ivory, adorned with a human face, European figures and intricate lattice work, worn during important ceremonies as part of the royal regalia. The iron and copper alloy inlays speak to the cultural exchange that flowed through Benin's interactions with European traders.

Coconut brings a tropical, refreshing scent that highlights the coastal influences on Benin's culture — coconut palms are abundant in the region and represent nourishment and abundance. Lime adds a burst of freshness, like the vibrant creativity of the Edo people.

A fresh, tropical fragrance that opens with citrus and softens into a creamy coconut warmth.

Hand-poured in the UK using natural rapeseed wax. 220g. Natural cotton wick. Approximately 35–40 hours burn time. Packaged in an elegant glass jar and adorned with our Benin Hip Mask illustration by designer Rachel Carroll.

Light it for summer evenings, after a long bath, or anywhere you want to feel transported.
