Maputo Candle by Young Mary's – A Tropical Escape in a Jar
Description
From the sun-drenched streets of Alexandria to the coastal energy of Maputo, Young Mary's Signature Collection captures the spirit of the African continent—one city at a time. Inspired by Mozambique’s vibrant capital, the Maputo Candle is a joyful fusion of fruit, florals, and sea air, designed to whisk you straight to the beach.
Blending tropical brightness with soft, summery warmth, this hand-poured candle is ideal for creating that laid-back holiday feeling at home—no passport needed.
