Happy Halloween all you spook ghouls and goblins! 👻🎃 The last of the fall scents are in the shop if you want to stock up before next fall! 🍂🕯️

This candle is inspired by the gothic, horror classic which inspired vampiric lore for years to come. Dracula’s Castle, nestled in the Carpathian mountains, looms tall and dark under a full moon. Few enter and even less return. Notes of frankincense and dark amber give this candle a dark and mysterious aroma, and a touch of rose makes this as intoxicating as being put under a vampire’s spell. 🧛🏻‍♀️ 2 left in the shop!

Trick-or-treating on Halloween night, costume parties, searching graveyards for the Sanderson Sisters. This is the epitome of Halloween scents, smelling of pumpkin spice & spiced cider. Don’t worry, this isn’t the Black Flame Candle. 🕯️🎃

TOP NOTES: clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice
MIDDLE NOTES: pumpkin, buttercream, apple cider
BASE NOTES: smoke, vanilla, maple syrup

Ghost Stories 👻 Another fall favorite if you like sweeter scents with a hint of smokiness! Toasted marshmallow, chocolate, and campfire smoke 🤤 Inspired by one of my fav fall activities - telling spooky stories and eating s’mores around the fire.

It’s getting chilly outside which means it’s time for a Gilmore Girls rewatch! For me this candle brings to life the fall festival episodes. It smells of mouthwatering apple cider donuts and fresh coffee from Luke’s. 🍁☕️

Happy first day of fall! This is definitely my season and I’m gonna enjoy every bit of it 🥰🎃🍁

The shop is stocked with fall candles right now! Ghost Stories is inspired by telling stories around the campfire, roasting marshmallows and making s’mores. Sweet and delicious with a hint of smokiness. 👻

Are you ready for pumpkin spice? I’m impatiently waiting for pumpkin spice drinks to come out! 🎃☕️

Hocus Pocus is a deliciously fall blend of pumpkin spice and spiced cider. And totally not the black flame candle. 🕯️

Are you a pumpkin spice fan?

🖤 Dark Academia 🖤 Notes of black coffee, bourbon, and burnt sugar.

Inspired by late-night discussions over classic literature, coffee in a cafe on a rainy day, well-worn book spines, and murder mysteries.

A candle even your familiar will love. 🕯️🐈‍⬛🍎

Every year Sabrina is a customer favorite for fall! It has notes of crisp apple, cinnamon chai, and autumn winds.

Happy Monday! If you haven’t seen, fall candles are available now on SALE for 15% off and other scents are 25% off. 🤗 There are limited amounts of each scent available until the full fall release (they will be back with new labels!) and the sale will run until stock runs out! Stars Hollow is the one I have the least of - there is only one left! Thank you so much for all your orders over the weekend 🥹 I will be sending most out tomorrow! 🍂

🍁Early Fall Candle SALE!🍁

Fall candles will be 15% off and all other scents will be 25% off! While supplies last. I’m dropping fall candles a little earlier and a bit differently this year for a few reasons: 1) I’m transitioning to changing all my labels (to the version you’ve seen with the Summer collection) which is quite costly and I don’t want to waste all the labels I have left! 2) Summer was not great for candle sales - especially with this HEAT. So hopefully running a sale will help me reach my goals to have a banging autumn candle launch with new labels and new scents I’ve been planning but just aren’t able to execute right now. 🤞

If you’re going into fall mode right now 🙋🏻‍♀️👻🎃 this sale is a good opportunity to stock up on some of your favs! Especially since I never run sales because I try to keep my cost as low as I can. Thank you for supporting me and my lil shop. Happy fall spooky friends! 🍂

Let me know what your favorite scents for autumn are!

For the Bridgerton/period drama lovers! A refreshing glass of lemonade, juicy watermelon with a hint of florals from wandering through a lush garden. 💐

“You don’t know the first thing about piracy do you? It’s not about glory, it’s not about getting what you want. It’s about belonging to something when the world has told you you’re nothing.”

My fav summer scent inspired by one of my favorite shows! A blend of coconut, pineapple, lime, and rum for the ultimate tropical vibe 🌴🍍🏴‍☠️

19/07/2024

“A dragon without its rider is a tragedy, a rider without their dragon is dead.”

Fresh and bright ginger and the warmth of spices. A hint of smokiness reminiscent of dragon fire and the smell of riding leathers make this candle a warm and complex scent with a bit of sweetness. 🔥🖤
