KOBO pure soy candles were created by and for those
passionate about memorable scents, and the fresh look of the
KOBO packaging is a gift so beautiful it need not be wrapped. Originally from
Kumamoto in southern Japan, she and her husband spent many
years traveling the world before settling in Saratoga Springs,
NY. Junko was always struck by the scent of each place, and
how absent those fragrances were when a photo of a location is
viewed. Yet later, while reminiscing on her travels, the aroma
was still very present to her memory. She came to realize that
fragrance is one of the key elements to bringing any environment
to life, and it is the most often overlooked. Junko began creating
scents for her own home that would be as equally memorable to
her family and guests as the paintings on the walls, or flavors of
the food served. Kobo candles are made of domestically grown sustainable
soybeans. This creates the cleanest burning medium and
excellent level of fragrance yield. Cotton wicks provide a pure
and clean flame. Kobo candles are not only created using
environmentally friendly materials but they do not pollute the
home either. The Kobo scents are achieved using the finest boutique fragrance
houses in the US. Each candle is then made to specific standards
that maximize the fragrance yield to the individual scent to
create a room filling yet not overpowering aroma.
