“Spirit of the Tree” — from the Taíno language
Yaya smells like memory.
Crisp evergreen air. Forest floors covered in pine needles. That deep inhale when you bring the tree inside or step into the woods in winter. It’s grounding, clean, and sacred—like nature dressed up for ceremony.
Named in honor of the Taíno word for “spirit of the tree,” Yaya is a candle that connects you to something bigger—ancestral, wild, and evergreen. Whether it’s lit for the holidays or a quiet winter night, this scent brings the forest to you.

This is candle is more on the warm/spicy side of fragance. Smells so amazing, my sister smelled it from the living room and said she’s never smelled anything like this. It smells amazing, reminds me of my dominican dad’s cologne growing up.
