Fad*ish- fashion and design

Baobab.  The word rolls right off the tongue, especially if you are from Africa and are acquainted with the tree.  Nicknamed the tree of life, it is used for everything: Its fruits are eaten as a vegetable, if you are in South Africa. It can be made into a soup, if you are from Nigeria.  Sometimes it is considered medicine, if you are from Australia.  And, it is made into chic candles, if you are from Belgium.  Since 2004, the Baobab Collection--a candle and incense manufacturer, and not a group of trees--has been producing a line of colorful scented candles.  Their collection, inspired by the Tanzanian planes,  is distributed from Amsterdam to Zurich.  They even came up with clever names like ‘Miombo Woodlands’, ‘Masaai Spirit’, and ‘African Morning Dew’--though, I am not sure what dew smells like in Africa.  In five sizes, from  ‘Mini Max to Maxi Maxi, no room is too large or small to aromatize. In fact, it can smell like ‘White Rhino’ for around $71 bucks (less if you buy the voltives), which I am sure, would be an upgrade to any domicile.  www.baobabcollection.com.
