In order to offer a complete sensory experience, Retbaa has created a collection of scented candles to fill interiors with fragrances reminiscent of memories from travels across the African continent. To fully enjoy the olfactory experience of Retbaa candles, here are some valuable tips.

It is not necessary to let the candle burn for too long. We recommend extinguishing it as soon as the top layer of wax becomes liquid, typically after about four hours of burning. This is when the fragrance reaches its peak diffusion, enveloping you in an enchanting sensory atmosphere.
After each use, make sure to trim the wick if it has blackened. To prevent smoke from appearing, the wick should always be clean and not exceed 0.5 centimeters.

Salt harvesting at Lac Retba has been a lasting tradition for over 50 years, sustained by the unique conditions provided by this exceptional natural environment. Lac Retba, often referred to as the “Pink Lake,” is famous for its ever-changing color palette, shifting from pink to mauve depending on sunlight and weather conditions. This transformation is attributed to microorganisms, including small algae, which proliferate in the extremely salty waters of the lake. These organisms produce pigments to shield themselves from the sun’s rays and the high salt levels, creating this unique visual spectacle.

The source of the lake’s water primarily comes from the Atlantic Ocean, located on the other side of a strip of dunes. Sea water infiltrates under these dunes, and due to the heat, a portion of the water evaporates, leaving behind an exceptionally high salt concentration.
