Jacinto was conceived by Colin Shandoss after a memorable business trip to mainland China in 2010. During a post-dinner stroll through a public garden in Shanghai, Colin was captivated by the enchanting fragrance of water hyacinths. This olfactory experience inspired him to capture the essence of this unique scent.
Collaborating with a distinguished fragrance expert—one of South Africa’s top “noses” — Colin successfully bottled this captivating aroma. Over the years, Jacinto has evolved into a premium range of fine fragrance candles, meticulously crafted in South Africa.
Our collection features five exquisite fragrances, each encapsulated in custom, handmade wooden boxes, either individually or as a luxurious set of all five. Every candle is designed to offer a distinctive scent profile, with hyacinth as the core note, and when burned together, they create a harmonious “secret” fragrance.
Discover the elegance of Jacinto—where a single scent can evoke a world of memories and experiences.
