Misty Mountains 4 oz — Frequently Asked Questions

What does this lord of the rings candle smell like?

It smells like crossing the Misty Mountains on foot: sharp, clean mountain air over fresh juniper and cypress. Juniper is the same aromatic berry that gives gin its signature piney bite, and here it keeps the blend crisp and outdoorsy from the first light to the last.

Is this a good gift for Tolkien fans?

Yes — the compact size makes it a favorite for Tolkien readers, students, and travelers, and an easy pairing with a boxed trilogy. Wax melts from $11.99 round out a bookish gift without straining the budget.

Is this candle handmade and 100% soy?

It is. Like every Aarka Origins candle, it is hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax — no paraffin, no blends — with phthalate-free, dye-free, vegan fragrance oil and a lead-free cotton wick, one of 280+ book-inspired scents.

Care: trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn and keep burns to about 2 hours at a time. Browse all 280+ scents in our bookish soy candles for readers collection.
