Alexandria Candle by Young Mary's – A Floral Tribute to Egypt's Coastal Gem
Description
From Alexandria in Egypt to Maputo in Mozambique, the Young Mary's collection traverses the African continent, encapsulating the essence of its cities through scent. Inspired by Alexandria—the historic Mediterranean port city on Egypt's northern coast—this hand-poured candle captures the city's lush botanical heritage and coastal charm.
Alexandria offers a bouquet of floral notes, transporting you to blooming gardens and sun-drenched meadows. It's an ideal choice for those who appreciate delicate, nature-inspired fragrances.
