Samhain is unapologetically “pumpkin spice,” but oh, does it smell absolutely heavenly! The pumpkin, cinnamon, and vanilla blend beautifully, creating a rich, warm, and comforting fragrance, while the underlying pine, apple, clove, and earthy notes evoke the atmosphere of an autumn forest at the height of harvest season. It's more than just a cozy fall scent—it genuinely captures the spirit of Samhain, with its celebration of the final harvest, remembrance of those who have passed, and farewell to the fading year. There's something wonderfully nostalgic and almost spiritual about it, like standing at a harvest festival as the last leaves fall, honoring what has come before while welcoming the darkness and the promise of a new year.
St. Augustine Lighthouse was easily one of the loveliest candles we've tried. The orange blossom and citrus notes were noticeable almost immediately, creating a wonderfully fresh, bright fragrance without ever becoming overpowering. The driftwood, sea salt, and underlying marine and woody notes complemented the citrus beautifully, adding a subtle, almost haunting quality that lingered pleasantly throughout the house. While it wasn't particularly spooky, it genuinely evoked the atmosphere of historic St. Augustine, with orange trees blooming near centuries-old buildings and the salty breezes of the river and Atlantic drifting through the streets. A beautiful, relaxing scent that really captures the character of its inspiration!
One of my favorite scents.
The Driskill smells absolutely AMAZING! I'm not sure whether it's the peppercorn or orange peel that really makes this fragrance stand out, but the underlying evergreen notes of pine and juniper complement them beautifully. The result genuinely evokes the atmosphere of a lavish frontier hotel during the Gilded Age, with its rich leather furnishings, polished wood, and lingering hints of spice and greenery. There's something wonderfully luxurious and old-fashioned about it, filling the room with a sense of warmth, elegance, and relaxation, like the grandeur of the late 19th century.
Truly lives up to its name! Loving the energy of the incense.
This is my second wholesale order for my company with Ghost Poppy, and I know I'll be ordering another batch of candles sooner than later! The care and meticulous attention to detail throughout the entire crafting process, professionalism and meaningful follow-up post-sale is appreciated beyond belief. I highly recommend Ghost Poppy products for personal and professional use!
Just got my first candle- Samhain. Smells great, burns clean, and is perfect on my altar.
Ghost Poppy House Warming is our number 1 scent for all year round.
The best!!!
I love this scent, it's my favorite!
Always amazing!!
The Voynich Manuscript was another unexpected favorite. It genuinely evokes the smell of an old book or historic library, with the leather and earthy notes giving it that wonderful aged, bookish quality. The eucalyptus and bergamot keep it from becoming too musty or heavy, though, leaving it surprisingly fresh, pleasant, and homey. It really does feel like settling into a quiet library with an ancient manuscript open in front of you.
The Pine Barrens was an easy favorite for me, but I’ll admit I’m a sucker for pine and other evergreen scents. The red pine really comes through, with the moss, earth, and cedar making it feel like standing deep in a cool pine forest. There’s something wonderfully fresh and cleansing about it without smelling artificial or overly Christmasy. Woodsy, atmospheric, and exactly the kind of forest scent I love.
The Stanley Hotel was one we absolutely loved. It has a wonderfully fresh, inviting scent that immediately brought to mind an old mountain hotel or resort tucked away in the Rockies. The evergreen and minty notes give it that crisp, cool mountain-air feeling, while the cocoa and softer notes add just enough warmth to make it feel cozy rather than sharp. Pleasant, atmospheric, and surprisingly inviting for a candle inspired by one of America’s most famously haunted hotels.
The Winchester Mystery House captures the feeling of stepping into a wealthy historic mansion. The incense and florals blend beautifully with the woody notes, giving it the sense of old rooms filled with antique furniture, polished wood, and lingering perfume. There’s a subtle mysterious quality without becoming overly dark or heavy—it feels elegant, historic, and just a little haunted.
