Inspired by Africa’s beauty, and seeking to embody its aromas
ABOUT US
UZURIA “Scents of Africa”
Was founded in South Africa in 2015 with the desire to design and develop uniquely African, handcrafted, Home Fragrance products.
UZURIA is a composition of the Swahili word, “uzuri,” meaning “beauty,” and the letter, “A”, for Africa. We take pride in displaying African beauty in our products.
By working closely with artisans and manufacturing our products locally, we know what goes into each product, and can be hands-on in every step of the production, guaranteeing high quality products to our customers.
Our candles are inspired by traditional, African shapes and patterns. Our scents are unique blends that seek to embody African aromas.
GIVING BACK

Open in February 2012, the MUPHAMUZI BABY HOME exist as a bridge between abandoned and cherished where safety is found, and a family is given.
