Meet sazón + scent

sazón + scent was founded by Ilia Castro. It's a Puerto Rican-owned, woman-owned home fragrance brand inspired by the everyday sights, sounds and scents of New York City's barrios. The brand was born from her memories of growing up in Spanish Harlem, and every candle is now hand-poured in small batches in The Bronx with soy wax, premium fragrance oils and cotton wicks.

The Four Scents

Café con Leche: warm roasted coffee, inspired by neighborhood bodegas, cafés and bakeries, and that first sip of the day.
Coquito Season: creamy coconut with smooth rum and warm spices, a tribute to Puerto Rico and the holiday gatherings that go with it.
Helado Cherry: bright, juicy sweet cherry, inspired by New York City's icee carts and childhood summers.
Palo Santo: grounding palo santo with soft earthy notes and a hint of incense smoke, inspired by the neighborhood botánica.
