Kano Candle by Young Mary's – Earthy Aromas from Northern Nigeria
Description
From Alexandria to Maputo, the Young Mary's collection traverses the African continent, encapsulating the essence of its cities through scent. Inspired by Kano—Northern Nigeria’s historic commercial hub—this hand-poured candle pays homage to the city's rich cultural heritage and centuries-old artisanal traditions.
Think warm leather, sun-baked earth, and the richness of natural dye pits. Kano offers a grounding and smoky aroma, perfect for those who appreciate deep, earthy fragrances.
