Welcome to a world where storytelling doesn’t just live on the page—but flickers, glows, and lingers in the air long after the book is closed.


Let me introduce you to Fabled Flames, a brand-new candle business that is setting hearts ablaze in the bookish world. Founded by a fellow storyteller and scent alchemist, Fabled Flames was born from the belief that every book has a soul—and that soul has a scent.


Whether you're an author weaving tales of forbidden love, ancient magic, or dark revenge—or a reader who wants to revisit your favourite fictional world with a single inhale—Fabled Flames has something truly enchanting for you.


At the heart of Fabled Flames is a single creative force: an artisan who understands the alchemy of storytelling. Each candle is hand-poured and thoughtfully crafted, not just to smell divine but to evoke emotion.

These are not your average candles. These are custom, story-infused scent experiences.

Here’s what sets Fabled Flames apart:


  • Custom Candle Creation for Authors: Are you a writer who wants to bring your book to life in a whole new way? Fabled Flames works with you to craft a scent that embodies your characters, setting, and story. Imagine a candle that captures the stormy scent of your tortured hero’s cologne, or the wildflower-drenched wind blowing through your enchanted forest. You can even pair your candle with book boxes, giveaways, or merch for your readers. It’s a beautiful way to give your world a breath of life—literally.


  • Reader-Inspired Collections: Fabled Flames also caters to book lovers who have fallen hard for fictional places, characters, and vibes. Whether you want the cozy spice of the Autumn Court, the sea salt air of your pirate prince’s ship, or the dark musk of your favorite morally grey villain, there's a candle just for you. These scents go beyond the surface—they are layered, complex, and immersive.


Each candle comes with a story card—either an excerpt from the book it was inspired by or a poetic description that sets the mood. It’s not just a scent; it’s a scene, a feeling, a memory.

Some of the early favorites from the shop include:


  • 🍰 After Class – Blueberry Cheesecake

    Sweet. Forbidden. Absolutely addictive.This scent captures the heart-pounding sweetness of late-night tutoring, hallway glances, and a love that feels too risky—but tastes too good to resist. Think warm vanilla cheesecake swirled with ripe blueberries. It’s temptation in wax.

    Perfect for: student-teacher tropes, academic slow burns, and new adult romance.


  • Undone by You – Smoked Coffee Whiskey

    Dark. Brooding. Deeply dangerous.For the reader who falls hard for villains and morally grey heartbreakers. Bitter coffee, smooth whiskey, and smoldering spice come together in this intense, intoxicating blend. It’s a candle that wraps you in heat and haunts you long after the flame goes out.

    Perfect for: mafia romance, anti-heroes, enemies-to-lovers, and anyone who enjoys their love served with consequences.


  • 🍋 Between Sets – Lemon Meringue Pie

    Bright. Flirty. Full of fire.Fresh lemon zest, creamy meringue, and buttery crust make this scent a playful punch to the senses. It’s the aroma of post-workout tension, teasing rivals, and accidental touches that mean too much. One sniff, and you’re in the heat of the moment.

    Perfect for: gym romances, cocky leads, dance rivals, and summer flings that get way too serious.


And of course, authors can request fully custom scents—ones no one else has. Want a candle that smells like your vampire prince’s lair or your desert assassin’s oasis? Consider it done.


Fabled Flames isn’t a corporate factory of copy-paste candles. Every step—from the scent blending to the label design—is done with love, care, and a deep respect for the written word. Supporting Fabled Flames means supporting a creator who is part of the same world you are: the world of readers, writers, and dreamers.

This is more than just wax and wick. It’s about connection—between creators and fans, between books and senses, between imagination and reality.



As an author, I know how much your world means to you. You’ve spent months—maybe years—building it. Watching it come alive in scent form is emotional, powerful, and deeply rewarding.

And as a reader? Let me just say this: lighting a Fabled Flames candle while diving into a beloved story is a sensory experience like no other. It’s a hug from a fictional world. It’s nostalgia and magic in one glowing jar.


So, if you're ready to fall in love with stories all over again—one scent at a time—go check out Fabled Flames.


Follow them on social media, browse their current collections, or commission your own custom candle. Your favorite book is waiting to be reborn in flame.


With love and flickers of imagination.
