Scents: Pumpkin Spice · Rosemary · Aged Oak · Hand-poured in: North Carolina, USA · From: $11.99 (wax melts)
This pumpkin spice candle has a herb garden in it — the familiar spice at the top, rosemary cutting green and resinous straight through the middle of it, and aged oak holding the bottom like the rim of a pot.
It belongs to the coven chapters, to the herb-drying kitchen, and to every book where three women know considerably more than they are letting on. 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 SPICE · ROSEMARY · AGED OAK
Fragrance family: Spiced & Herbal
Pumpkin spice is the most-copied scent in the industry, and almost every version is a dessert. The rosemary is what makes this one different: a sharp, savoury herb laid over the spice blend, which shifts it from bakery to brewing pot. Aged oak underneath keeps it from smelling like anything you would eat. It is the pumpkin spice for people who are tired of pumpkin spice. Poured by hand in North Carolina from 100% pure soy.
The rosemary. This pumpkin spice candle runs a green, savoury herb through the spice blend and finishes on aged oak, which pulls it out of dessert territory and into something closer to a working kitchen.
It is the obvious gift for anyone with a shelf of covens and herbals, and it is the safest bet in this batch for a general autumn gift too. Wax melts from $11.99 make it easy to give alongside a paperback.
It is. The Three Witches 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.
