Our Story

Experience the art of island elegance with Isla 84 NYC — a luxury fragrance brand inspired by the vibrant soul of the Dominican Republic.
Founded in 2022 by Mercedes Estevez, Isla 84 NYC was born during a time of global uncertainty, when she longed to be transported back to the warmth, color, and joy of her homeland. What began as a personal escape became a tribute — an homage to the scents, textures, and lush tropical beauty of the Dominican Republic.
Each candle is meticulously handcrafted and hand-poured in small batches using premium, natural ingredients — virgin coconut soy wax, clean phthalate-free fragrance blends, and ethically sourced wooden wicks. Our products are eco-conscious, vegan, and never tested on animals.
Isla 84 NYC is more than a candle brand. It is a sensory journey. A love letter to the island. A celebration of culture, nostalgia, and refined living.
