"Ybor City Sofrito" (Abuela's Heels - Tampa):
Notes of cherry, tobacco, vanilla, amber & musk.
Scent Profile: Sophisticated // Warm
Scent Strength: Soft & Subtle
Tampa's Ybor City, once known as the "Cigar Capital of the World," was where Cuban, Spanish, and Italian immigrants rolled millions of cigars by hand in historic brick factories. Like a sofrito—the aromatic base of Latin cooking—Ybor City blended cultures into something rich and unforgettable. This candle captures the essence of Ybor's cultural sofrito—sweet cherry tobacco smoke drifting past the Columbia Restaurant, flamenco beats echoing through brick streets, the rhythm of abuelas stripping tobacco leaves.
Each Ybor City Sofrito candle is available in your choice of vessel: vintage glass Glow Jars for home elegance or rugged Infinity Tins for adventure and travel. Both feature the same premium, custom coconut, soybean, and apricot waxes.
Both classic 8 oz vessels hold vintage and timeless appeal—handcrafted just for you. Insatiably curious, we search the country for high-quality fragrance and essential oils to blend for your pleasure and peace of mind. Our scents are crafted to whisper rather than shout—present but never overpowering, designed for those who appreciate nuanced fragrance that unfolds over time. Up to 60 hours burn time expected, dependent upon use. Made with clean-burning, cotton wicks. No phthalates! No parabens! No "bad" stuff.
