"A royal scent for every home."
Our story begins in 1930, when a young family of three left everything behind and ventured to East Africa in search of a new life. They settled in Mombasa, in a humble yet vibrant colony known as the People & Resident Association — or M-PRA.
By the 1950s, the family's daughter — now a young wife and mother — began crafting natural beeswax candles for her neighbors and friends. While most used paraffin torches, she infused her candles with locally sourced herbs to release soft, soothing aromas.
In 1965, political unrest forced her to leave Kenya. She settled in the UK with her husband and five children, and while her surroundings changed, her passion never did.
We created M-PRA in her memory — a name that honors where her journey began, and a brand that carries forward her legacy of purposeful craftsmanship, natural ingredients, and beautiful fragrance.
