Scents: Pumpkin · Cedar · Spice · Oak · Hand-poured in: North Carolina, USA · From: $11.99 (wax melts)
This spiced oak candle is a house that has been standing empty a long time — old oak holding the cold, cedar in the beams, autumn spice drifting through from a kitchen nobody has used, and pumpkin somewhere at the back of it.
Light it for the horror novel you insist on reading alone, and for every cabin in every book that was a bad idea from the first page. 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.
PUMPKIN · CEDAR · SPICE · OAK
Fragrance family: Woody & Spiced
Oak is the backbone here, and it is doing something specific: it makes the spice read as old rather than fresh. Most autumn spice blends smell like something being baked right now; run the same spice over aged oak and cedar and it smells like something that was baked a long time ago, in a house that has since gone quiet. That shift is the whole point of this jar. Poured by hand in North Carolina from 100% pure soy.
It sits between the two. The spiced oak candle has the warmth of an autumn spice blend but runs it over cold aged oak and cedar, which gives it an abandoned-house edge that a straight pumpkin jar does not have.
It is one of the best in the batch for anyone with a shelf of haunted-house novels, and it stays wearable enough to burn year-round rather than only in October. Wax melts from $11.99.
It is. The Cursed Cabin 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.
The design and quality is great. The scent is subtle--great for people that dont want overpowering fragrance. Shipping took some time but arrived well packaged with a card from seller (w/discount code) and stucker. Love the themes of these candles and would recommend this store.
Anna is an angel! & cursed cabin is my absolute favorite scent so far! I can’t wait to find my next new favorite Anna makes!!
Great scent, fills the room nicely
The perfect Halloween candle. And even more perfect for those who celebrate Halloween year round. Might be my favorite candle all time.
Smells so good not too pumpkin-y. Will be purchasing more!
