Scents: Apples · Pear · Woods · Moss · Hand-poured in: North Carolina, USA · From: $11.99 (wax melts)
This autumn witch candle is a basket coming back full from a long walk — apples and pears picked on the way, damp woods behind, and moss still on the hem of something dark and practical.
It is made for herbalist witches, autumn folk magic, and the stories where the forest is on the protagonist's side and everyone in town knows it. Like every Aarka Origins candle, it is truly handmade: hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax, with no paraffin and no blends.
APPLES · PEAR · WOODS · MOSS
Fragrance family: Fruity & Woody
The orchard fruit here is kept deliberately unsweetened — crisp rather than baked — so it can sit against wood and moss without collapsing into a pie. That restraint is what makes the blend read as outdoors rather than indoors, and it is the sort of decision made at the pour bench rather than on a spec sheet. Hand-poured in small North Carolina batches, one of 280+ book-inspired scents.
Only lightly. The autumn witch candle uses fresh apple and pear rather than baked fruit, and the woods-and-moss base pulls it firmly toward earthy. It is a forest scent with fruit in it, not a dessert scent.
It is one of the better autumn gifts in the catalog for the cottage-witch and folk-magic shelf, and a good gift for readers who dislike overly sweet fall candles. Wax melts from $11.99 keep it affordable.
It is. Autumn Witch is hand-poured in small batches at Aarka Origins' North Carolina shop from 100% pure soy wax — no paraffin, no wax blends, no dyes, and a lead-free cotton wick. The fragrance oils are phthalate-free, vegan, and never tested on animals.
Trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn and keep burns to about two hours at a time for the cleanest, most even melt pool. Browse the full book lover soy candle collection.
So great thank you so much
This is a gift for a friend who told me the fragrance notes she liked. This candle really hits the mark. I am super satisfied after I opened it to smell, I realize I am having a real hard time giving this away.
Also I loved the wax melts,I am definately keeping this. I appreciated the card too,it was really lovely! Thank you
Smells great and nicely designed.
First off, the design on the label is beautiful! That's what first got my attention, honestly. The packaging it came in is so cute and it was really sweet of the business-owner to include a lollipop and free sample. The scent itself is not what I expected but still pleasant, it's crisp with a fruity note and almost an amber undertone. It's nice, I just think maybe I prefer more woodsy and pumpkin than apple, but it is as described. I really love the free sample of Snowed In And Reading that was included. I'll definitely have to get that one next 😊❄️
Fun gift for my daughter for fall!
