Our Story

In 2022, we set out to create the best candles we could. Why? Well, most candles out there have an issue one way or the other. They don’t smell good, they are too strong, they don’t last long, they have boring branding, they’re not eco-friendly, the list goes on…

So, after a bunch of testing and vigorous scent exploration, we came up with our first scent: London. It wasn’t enough for our candles to be amazing products; they had to tell a story, and for us, that story just had to be travel!

There is nothing in this world we love more than exploring this beautiful planet we’re on, so when choosing a name and a brand, we wanted to stay honest about what we cared about. London had to be our first scent; it’s the place I lived for over twenty years and the city where we met and spent our first year as a couple. It was at this point Mappa was born.

Once we cracked the recipe for our next three scents, it was clear that Mappa should be shared for others to enjoy. The wonder and beauty of travel and the calmness and peace of a good candle were a killer combination. In 2024, we built up our stock, shared our products with friends and family, sourced better-quality ingredients, and participated in our first craft fairs.

Here we are in 2025, our website built, our goals set, and our mission to expand the Mappa family well underway. We’re so grateful to everyone who has purchased our products. Our promise to you is to keep increasing our quality and to inspire you to travel the world through smell.
