Dark Academia Candle | Ink, Oakmoss & Parchment | 7.5 oz Soy

Light the wick, summon the vibe. Dark Academia is the scent of handwritten letters, ancient libraries, and forbidden knowledge—the kind that lingers in the air like an unanswered question. A sharp, citrusy opening of bergamot and camphor fades into the warmth of aged parchment, leather, and oakmoss, before settling into a deep, mysterious base of amber, cedar, and sandalwood. It’s the smell of dusty tomes, ink-stained fingertips, and the quiet allure of things left unsaid.

Inspired by the most brooding literary geniuses (*think Richard Papen & Henry Winter from The Secret History, Cardan Greenbriar from The Cruel Prince, and Declan from If We Were Villains), this candle is mysterious, scholarly, and just a little bit tragic—like every great dark academia protagonist.
