A tribute to Puerto Rican pride, resilience, and rhythm.
Every candle we create at North + Ash tells a story—and Boricua is one of our most personal. Inspired by the vibrant spirit of Puerto Rico, this scent is a celebration of culture, memory, and identity. From the first spark of the wick to the final notes in the air, Boricua is meant to transport you to the heart of the island.
The Inspiration
We created Boricua as an homage to the warmth, flavor, and fierce pride of Puerto Rican heritage. Whether you were born on the island, raised in the diaspora, or simply feel connected to its beauty and culture, this candle is for you.
It’s about the feeling of dancing in the streets of Old San Juan, hearing salsa echo off cobblestone walls. It’s about warm nights filled with the scent of food, laughter, and sea breeze. It’s about history, resilience, and joy—all wrapped into one unforgettable aroma.
The Scent Profile
We wanted Boricua to capture both the earthy roots and the tropical soul of Puerto Rico. So we layered the fragrance with bold, complex notes that evoke both land and celebration:
- Top Notes: Pineapple, papaya, and citrus—bright and juicy, just like the flavors that define Puerto Rican cuisine.
- Middle Notes: Coconut and vanilla—soft, sweet, and comforting.
- Base Notes: Hibiscus flower—grounding and enduring, like the strength of the Boricua spirit.
It’s a scent that commands attention and welcomes you in, just like the island itself.
More Than a Candle—It’s a Statement
Lighting Boricua is more than adding scent to a space—it’s about honoring roots and reclaiming identity.
We See You. We Honor You. We Are You.
Boricua is proudly hand-poured with love and respect. It’s clean-burning, non-toxic, and made to inspire connection and pride with every burn.
Light it. Remember. Celebrate.
