The Brand
Nostalgia, is what led me to creating Maison Africanist. I missed home so much, I missed Africa.
I wanted to create a product that would bring me closer in a sense, to home. A product that is beautiful, luxurious, elevated, beautifully designed, that would celebrate the African culture, heritage and craftsmanship.
Lighting a candle is an everyday routine for me, the same way lighting up a "Thiouraye" was for my mom and her mom and my ancestors.
In Africa, we love making sure our home smells good and is inviting, feels cozy and is an absolute vibe. It took me almost 2 years, a lot of trials, errors, doubts, brainstorming, sleepless nights to bring you the best quality possible. I selected carefully the fragrances to reflect with the vision that I have for the brand.
I truly hope that you enjoy them as much as I do, I hope that as you light one of Maison Africanist’s Candles, you get transported into the exciting voyage of (re)discovering Africa in the best way possible, through it’s history, heritage, Culture, beautiful places and scents that reminds me so much of Home.
Enjoy the Experience,
Kadi Souare, Artist-Creative-Founder
