Dark Academia Soy Wax Candle 8oz

You push open a heavy oak door, its iron hinges groaning with age. The study is dim, lit only by the golden glow of firelight and the faint flicker of candle stubs burned low. The air is warm, still, and fragrant with memory.

Dark Academia unfolds like a hidden passage in a leather-bound novel. Rich, worn leather rises first like the arm of a well-loved chair or the inside of an old satchel still dusted with chalk and ash. Suede follows close behind, smooth and supple, softening the edges like velvet drapes pulled tight against a storm.

Then, the rosewood emerges: deep, polished, and resonant, like the spine of an ancient desk or the fretboard of a forgotten violin. It hums with quiet intensity, anchored by the delicate, unmistakable scent of aged library books, foxed pages, brittle parchment, ink faded to sepia.

This isn’t just a fragrance, it’s an atmosphere. A secret society of scholars meeting by candlelight. A locked drawer of handwritten letters. A mystery half-solved in the margins.

Dark Academia is your invitation to linger in the shadows of old knowledge and long-kept secrets. Introspective, decadent, and darkly romantic, perfect for anyone who finds adventure between the lines.

As with all of our 100% soy wax candles, this candle uses fragrance that is both phthalate free and prop 65 compliant.
