Guayaba

One of the most beloved Cuban pastries is guava — or as we proudly call it, Pastelito de Guayaba. Flaky, golden layers filled with sweet, luscious guava paste… it’s a staple in every Cuban bakery. We use guayaba in everything — cakes, cookies, pastries, even jams — because its tropical sweetness is simply irresistible. That same vibrant flavor inspires the Guayaba Candle from Essence Home Miami. It’s a beautiful summer fragrance bursting with freshness and warmth. Bright top notes of Fuji apple slices, French cassis, and Kaffir lime leaves open the scent with a juicy sparkle. The heart reveals Anjou pear, Rio red grapefruit, and sweet Valencia orange, adding a sun-kissed citrus glow. Finally, it settles into a lush base of Mediterranean fig, guava nectar, and Tahitian passion fruit — smooth, tropical, and deliciously inviting. Sweet, fruity, and full of Cuban soul, this candle is like walking into a bakery on a warm Miami morning — where the scent of guava fills the air and every bite
