6 Candles That Belong in Your Favourite Magical World
What if your favourite fantasy world had a scent?
For romantasy readers, it’s never just about the plot. It’s about the vibe. The mood. The slow burns, the sword training, the castles with secrets in the walls.
And the thing is — fantasy readers don’t just read a book. We fall into it. We daydream about the characters, whisper the spells, and mentally redecorate our bedroom to look like the Night Court.
So why not match your atmosphere to your current read?
That’s where book-inspired candles come in. More than just pretty home decor, these are mood-setters. Scene enhancers. A flickering side character that makes your reading experience even more immersive.

Here are six bookish candles made to transport you — from the first page to the final plot twist.
1. Enemies to Lovers
Scent notes: Plum, pomegranate, rose, patchouli, cedar
This isn’t your average floral candle. It's deep, complex, and layered — just like the trope it's inspired by.
Enemies to Lovers is for the readers who live for that delicious tension: the banter, the forced proximity, the moment when someone finally breaks.
Lighting this candle is like entering Chapter 27 of your favourite slow burn, where the air gets heavy and every sentence drips with longing.
The dark fruit and rose keep it romantic, while the patchouli and cedar bring heat and edge.
You’ll want to light this when:
- You’re rereading The Cruel Prince or From Blood and Ash
- You need a little emotional damage with your romance
- You're mentally yelling “just kiss already!”
2. Stolen Kisses
Scent notes: Blackberry, vanilla, amber, sandalwood
This one smells like walking through a candlelit ballroom in a magical palace where everyone has secrets and someone definitely has wings.
It's romantic, mysterious, and a little seductive — perfect for when you're deep in your Romantasy Era.
Stolen Kisses is your go-to for those thick fantasy paperbacks you lug around like a sacred object. It's soft but strong, feminine but grounded.
It doesn’t just set the scene — it creates a whole mood.
Light it when:
- You're reading ACOTAR, Crescent City, or Divine Rivals
- You’re writing fanfic in your head about a morally grey prince
- You need to be emotionally ruined in the best way
3. Book Boyfriend
Scent notes: Mahogany, leather, musk, and a hint of obsession
Let’s be honest — the Book Boyfriend is not just a candle, it’s a fantasy wrapped in wax. Strong. Scented. Slightly tortured.
This is the one that makes you sigh out loud mid-sentence and go looking for fan art.
It’s deep, masculine, and dark — like your favourite morally grey love interest who reads poetry, saves you from danger, and absolutely does not want to talk about his tragic past (until he does).
You’ll want this lit when:
- Your fictional crush is pulling a “stay away from me, I’m not good for you”
- The playlist is moody and full of piano instrumentals
- You’re pretending your reading chair is a throne
4. Dark Temptation (Coming Soon)
Scent notes: Pimento, tobacco leaf, vanilla
This one is for the morally grey ones. The ones with shadows in their past, secrets in their eyes, and hands you probably shouldn’t hold — but do anyway.
Dark, smoky, and addictive, this scent lingers long after the last page.
Perfect for:
- Reading scenes where trust shouldn’t be given, but is
- Lighting something seductive during your fantasy binge
5. The Eternal Vow (Coming Soon)
Scent notes: Pink pepper, rose, blackcurrant, damson plum, sandalwood, amber, cedarwood
This is romance — but make it epic. This candle smells like whispered promises in moonlit gardens, of roses blooming between worlds. It’s floral, spicy, and completely spellbinding — the kind of love story that spans lifetimes.
Perfect for:
- Your inner hopeless romantic
- Reading wedding scenes, soulmate arcs, and those heart-clutching vows
6. The Slow Burn (Coming Soon)
Scent notes: Rose, freesia, incense, fruity notes, amber, cedarwood, musk, patchouli
Obsession. Longing. That maddening space between the first glance and the first kiss. The Slow Burn is intense, romantic, and darkly elegant — the scent of a love that builds over chapters, slowly claiming everything.
Perfect for:
- Every reader who’s ever screamed: “JUST KISS ALREADY!”
- The kind of fantasy story that takes its time (but is so worth it)
Let Your Next Read Smell Like Magic
Every fantasy reader knows the joy of disappearing into a story — and the right candle makes that escape even richer.
Whether you're deep in a romantasy binge, curled up with a dark academia read, or just craving the scent of your favourite trope, these bookish candles are made to match the moment.
So light your flame, pick your page, and step into your own magical world — one candle at a time.
