Recently I was in the market for some deep, dark, mysterious scented candles and came across just the place that seemed to fit the need…. Dark Candles. I was aware of them from finding the site online, and having seen their long running Gothic Beauty magazine ad.

I was drawn to the whimsical names and deeply erotic scents that their website conveyed, and happily settled on a large pillar candle, and some individual votive candles.

I eagerly anticipated the gothic candles arrival, and was quite pleased upon opening the box (wish I took a photo). Each candle was wrapped according to the theme of the candle… the Bonfire candle (a limited time special) was a subtle and complex testament to fall, orange in color, with hints of crisp, damp leaves, pumpkin and spices, and was even tied with a Halloween themed twist tie!

One of the other standouts was the Nosferatu candle, which held true to their site description:

“Deep, mysterious, and masculine – packed with Arabian Spices, Turkish oils, and Indian resins. This is a dark spicy scent reminiscent of the 1930’s Nosferatu.”

Besides the great presentation, quality and scent of each candle, I got way more than I bargained for, with little extras like Halloween stickers, some sample wax melts and more. So if your in the market for some excellent Gothic candles, give them a try!
