Gatsby's Parties — Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Gatsby's Parties candle smell like?

Aarka Origins' Gatsby's Parties candle smells like a summer night on a millionaire's lawn: bright sparkling citrus, jewel-red currant, and a sweet fruity cocktail. Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby was published in 1925 and entered the public domain in 2021, and this great gatsby candle bottles the book's shimmering, doomed festivity rather than any single drink.

Is this a good gift for classic literature fans?

Yes — Gatsby's Parties is a favorite gift for readers of jazz-age fiction, book clubs tackling the classics, and anyone planning a literary-themed party. Wax melts from $11.99 make an easy hostess or graduation gift.

Is this candle handmade and 100% soy?

It is. Gatsby's Parties is hand-poured in small batches at Aarka Origins' North Carolina shop 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. Find more warm-weather scents in our spring and summer soy candles, or browse all 280+ scents in our book candles for book lovers.
