Some things identify our communities. One of them might just be the ubiquitous Butter Cookies tin, particularly used to hold anything but cookies. Albisa Candles, a Latina-owned premium candle brand that celebrates Latin heritage and Cuban nostalgia, is commemorating Hispanic Heritage Month with a Mentiras Candle Tin in Butter Cookies. Yes, this time, it’s a candle.
A tribute to that iconic blue tin that was never filled with butter cookies, but instead was filled with sewing kits, buttons, or even random odds and ends, the candle features a tin that, once you open it, holds wax melts shaped like butter cookies. But that’s not all, true to tradition, each tin also includes a mini sewing kit you can keep. And when the candles are gone, the tin lives on—like it did in our childhood memories.
If that’s not the perfect way to celebrate our heritage, then what is?
The brand also has other new candles for fall and Hispanic Heritage Month, including:
- Cultura Y Tradiciones Candle – A mix of mango and tangerine that feels very much like the flavors and smells of our childhood.
- Pumpkin Flan Candle – It’s pumpkin season, and there’s nothing more Latine than taking the seasonal flavor and making it our own. Enter pumpkin flan.
- Trico Tri Candle – This one just smells like Latin America. Spiced apples, sweet peaches, mulled spices, cinnamon, and vanilla come together to bring home to us.
- El Bosque Candle – A combo of spicy woods, citrus, florals, and earthy notes of patchouli, vetiver, and tonka bean.
Albisa candles is renowned for scents like:
- Cafetera Candle – if you love the smell of coffee, this ode to Cuban coffee, shaped like the iconic stovetop coffee maker, is the perfect accessory for your house.
- Cuban Bread – can you think of a better scent than that of freshly baked Cuban bread? The only problem we can think of is that we’ll end up craving it.
- Havana Nights – amber vetiver, tobacco, cedarwood, and herbs combine to bring back the feeling of being in Havana.
- Arroz Con Mango – a blend of mango, citrus, and creamy rice milk that takes its name from the Cuban saying.
