Varadero

When I was a child living in Cuba, my father worked as a city bus driver. One of the beautiful perks of his job was that we could travel anywhere on the island for free — and those trips became some of my most treasured memories.

And can I mention the beaches? Especially Varadero — one of the most breathtaking and beloved beaches in Cuba. Its powdery white sand and warm, crystal-clear blue waters felt like pure magic. I remember building sandcastles under the sun and swimming for hours without a care in the world. For a little girl, it was paradise. Life felt simpler, lighter, and endlessly joyful.

The Varadero Candle from Essence Home Miami was created to capture that feeling. With fresh, airy notes that evoke ocean breezes and sun-kissed shores, it brings the serenity of Cuba’s most iconic beach into your home. Light it, close your eyes, and let it carry you back to warm sands, turquoise waters, and the sweet innocence of childhood.

♥ Each Item in my shop is handmade by me at home in Miami, Florida. All of my scents are based off of my personal memories, or memories of others. Because all of these items are handmade, they may have some imperfections such as: minor discoloration of the wax, slightly off-centered label, tiny markings on the outside of the jar, etc. None of these impact the quality of the candle.♥

Want your candle to last longer with minimal soot? Trim the wick to 1/4” before every single burn, and keep it lit for 3-4 hours at a time. Trust me on this one!

WARNING: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THE SAFETY STICKER LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE JAR BEFORE LIGHTING. I WANT EVERYONE TO BE SAFE! ♥
