Scents: Snow · Berries · Evergreen · Hand-poured in: North Carolina, USA · From: $11.99 (wax melts)
This through the wardrobe candle steps book lovers past the fur coats and into the woods — the clean, cold breath of new snow, jewel-bright berries hanging from black branches, and evergreen boughs weighted down under white. Through the Wardrobe is that first, breath-caught moment in wax: quiet, cold, and wide-eyed with wonder.
Light it with wintertime classics, portal fantasy, and any chapter where a child finds a door that should not exist. 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.
SNOW · BERRIES · EVERGREEN
Fragrance family: Fresh-Cold & Green
Aarka Origins' Through the Wardrobe candle smells like the moment you cross into a snowbound forest: cold, clean snow, jewel-bright winter berries, and sharp green evergreens. C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was first published in 1950, and this blend bottles its first pages — the hush, the coats, the surprise of cold air — without naming a single character.
Yes — a favorite for readers raised on classic children's fantasy, teachers, and anyone who still checks the back of a closet. Wax melts from $11.99 make an easy holiday gift.
It is. Through the Wardrobe is hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax with 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. Find more snow-day pours in our Christmas and holiday candles, or browse all 280+ scents in our book candles for book lovers.
Packaged well, scent is wonderful.

One of my absolute favorite scents!
I adore the subtlety of these candles. They fill the room with a comforting scent that complements the quiet rustle of pages. The fact that they’re hand-poured and made with non-toxic materials is a huge plus. These candles have become a staple in my reading routine.
Every avid reader knows the importance of creating the right atmosphere, and these candles deliver it effortlessly. The scents are thoughtfully balanced—not too strong, but enough to elevate the mood. Knowing they’re natural and non-toxic makes them even better. Highly recommend for anyone who loves to pair a good book with a cozy vibe.
