Book Candle - Whispers & Nightmares
$33.00
Scent: Guaiacwood, Tobacco, Vanilla In the realms of tales and legends, there exists a fabled artifact, a tome concealed amidst the shelves of forgotten lore. Its mundane exterior belies the incredible power that lies within its pages. Whispered among scholars and adventurers alike, it is known as the enigmatic "Book of Whispers & Nightmares". Many have ventured forth in search of this lost relic, only to be cast aside by its enigmatic nature. Throughout the annals of time, the legend has swelled, shrouded in mystery and cloaked with the passing of ages. The book, supposedly bound in in basic obsidian hues, exudes an ancient and intoxicating scent reminiscent of bygone times. A wondrous blend of guaiacwood, sumac, birch, and tobacco leaf interwoven harmoniously with spirals of smoky vanilla and roasted chestnuts. Intricately blended into this opulent fragrance is a touch of cacao and elemi, adding depth and intensity to an already captivating olfactory experience - all captured within this inspired book candle. Theories abound regarding the hidden truths and menacing perils that may be trapped within the book's secrets. Yet, the passage of time has either veiled them in obscurity or rendered them mere figments of imagination - fabrications conjured to weave a chilling tale around the flickering embers of a campfire. And so, the mystique lingers, the allure persists. The Book of Whispers & Nightmares belongs not merely to reality or fiction, but transcends the boundaries of both, indelibly etched within the tapestry of whispered dreams and untold nightmares.

His name is known only in hushed whispers, spoken with a reverence that borders on fear. No eye has ever truly seen him, yet, the aftermath of his presence is undeniable; ships, once proud and majestic, return to port a mere ghost of their former selves, battered and broken, bearing the silent testimony of an encounter with the unseen terror. The crew, a broken lot, hold a haunted look in their eyes, a silent scream etched into their very souls. The fear they bear in their hearts is palpable, a chilling reminder of the mysterious man who rules the open seas. Moergyn Seagrave, a name synonymous with dread and mystery, continues to reign supreme, his existence a whispered rumor that echoes ominously across the vast expanse of Candlelore's waters. The Seagrave candle beckons with its enticing blend of oceanic fragrance, evoking memories of salt spray and the vast, open waves. Close your eyes and inhale deeply to be transported to the rocky coast, where waves crash against the jagged shoreline. A hint of citrus dances on your senses, with notes of cedar and floral following close behind. But it's the base notes of sandalwood, ozone, and musk that truly transport you to the realm of legends, stirring up mysterious tales of the feared pirate Moergyn Seagrave. This candle is more than just a scent; it's an immersive experience that will engulf you in the world of the high seas.
