My Path to Crafting Artistry Candles
In our fast-paced life, the quest for calm has always been my guiding star. At Sakina Tribe, my mission has been to create more than just candles; I strive to offer artistry candles that serve as bridges to tranquility, such as that can be found deeply rooted in the serene traditions of Benin.
Benin's Influence in this Artistry Candle Creation
As the founder of Sakina Tribe, my heart has always been tied to the rich, cultural expressions of the diverse and beautiful cultures within the African continent, across the Americas, and found throughout the world. These exchanges of culture play a significant part in me finding peace amongst the exchanges of these cultures. Take Benin, for example. This West African nation is a treasure trove of ancient traditions and vibrant ceremonies that speak volumes about cultural resilience and harmony. In Benin, the art of storytelling, through music and dance, is a testament to the enduring spirit of its people. The country's historical significance as a center of the Vodun religion adds a deep spiritual layer to its cultural fabric. This spirituality is reflected in the daily life of its people, where reverence for nature and ancestors is a cornerstone. Each Sakina Tribe candle inspired by Benin is not just a product; it's a celebration of these rich traditions, an attempt to capture the essence of a culture that thrives on community, spirituality, and a profound connection with nature.
The serene beauty of Benin's Pendjari National Park, with its lush landscapes and diverse wildlife, serves as a vivid reminder of the depth and uniqueness that specific cultural influences bring to our candles. At Sakina Tribe, I am inspired by such splendor to go beyond just creating a scent; my goal is to craft an experience that encapsulates the essence of these rich cultural landscapes in every candle.
Crafting Beyond the Ordinary
When I consider the well-known brands like Yankee Candle, I'm reminded of the distinct path Sakina Tribe has taken. Our candles are not just about the aroma; they are handcrafted pieces of art. They offer a unique cultural touch, a personal connection that extends beyond mere fragrance. My focus has always been on using organically sourced, high-quality ingredients. Each artistry candle is a result of meticulous craftsmanship, a labor of love ensuring that every piece is not just a product, but a masterpiece of artistry, perfect for those seeking a meaningful and luxurious candle gift.
Championing Black Artistry and Small Business
Each Sakina Tribe candle is a statement of support for the creativity and livelihood of black, other ethnic cultured, and racialized artists. Choosing our candles means supporting a marketplace that values unique craftsmanship and cultural heritage, empowering small businesses and artists.
"Benin": A Fusion of Art and Harmony
Introducing "Benin" – our latest artistry candle vessel. This piece is the culmination of a collaboration with a local black artist. Together, we created a painted canvas design that I have lovingly hand painted onto each candle vessel. Priced at $100 USD, the "Benin" vessel is not just a candle; it's an embodiment of cultural harmony and artistic collaboration. The candle is filled with the customer choice of exclusive Sakina Tribe scent after purchase and mailed directly to our "Tribe" members.
A Gift of Artistry and Calm
The "Benin" artistry candle vessel is a unique addition to our collection, offering a blend of culture, artistry, and tranquility. It transcends the typical candle gift, providing a deep connection to the rich heritage of Benin and the skilled hand of an artist.

My Vision: A World Filled with Peace and Artistry
While brands like Yankee Candle, Diptyque, and Jo Malone have established themselves as top competitors in the luxury fragranced candle market, Sakina Tribe offers something uniquely soulful. I enjoy these companies, but I also wanted to create a product that spoke for those like me who are looking for candles that provide cultural and spiritual connections to our outer and inner worlds. My artistry candles transcend the mere concept of scent; they are about the stories, the craftsmanship, and the deep cultural connections woven into each creation. My aspiration is to infuse every home with a sense of calm, peace, and artistry through Sakina Tribe's candles, lighting the path to a more serene and connected world.
