Homage to Yara Shahidi

In honor of Yara Shahidi, a beacon of sophistication, intellect, and grace, this candle pays tribute to an extraordinary young woman who has captured the hearts of many through her exceptional talent, activism, and unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation. Yara is more than an actress; she is a role model, an advocate for feminism, STEM awareness, and self-empowerment, and a symbol of what it means to lead with purpose and intelligence.

Our "Yara" candle draws inspiration from her elegance and depth, encapsulating the essence of her influence with a fragrance as vibrant and layered as she is. The scent opens with a burst of black cherry and bitter almond, a deliciously bold combination that mirrors Yara’s fearless approach to life and her ability to stand out in any crowd. These top notes are a nod to her undeniable presence, both on-screen and off, where she continues to inspire young girls to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.

As the fragrance develops, the heart notes of rose petals and jasmine sambac bring a soft, floral warmth that reflects Yara’s nurturing spirit and her dedication to causes that uplift and empower others. The delicate yet powerful aroma of jasmine embodies her grace and poise, while the timeless beauty of rose petals symbolizes the impact she has made as a role model and advocate for change.

The base of Tonka bean, cedarwood, and sandalwood provides a rich, grounding finish, much like Yara’s deep commitment to education and social justice. These warm, exotic woods echo the wisdom and strength she demonstrates in her activism, particularly in her efforts to promote STEM education and self-empowerment among youth. As a Harvard graduate with accolades from leaders like the former First Lady of the United States, Yara’s legacy is one of brilliance, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to making the world a better place.
