This was purchased as a gift and the recipient loved it! Very earthy and mysterious - never smelled a candle quite like this one

Perfectly named, Voodoo Bayou is exactly the beautiful scent you’d expect. Like standing alongside the Mississippi in the French Quarter at midnight with the spices and fragrant florals of the city laces with a little voodoo magic.

This is my 3rd Halloween purchasing this candle. It sets the mood perfectly. It is reminiscent of Florida water cologne, a fog machine and swamp moss/dirt which THANK YOU. Too many candles out there are too sweet or musky. This one hits just right.

I grew up in the south, not far from New Orleans. Somehow this fits so well. If you have been to the south, you know the air is different there. This conjures up a cool, foggy nights, the ones that feel like magic. I think it is the subtle incense smokiness and a green sweetness that make this feel wild and ancient and give it so much character. It is a light smell but still distinct. This is my favorite scent from Spireside and I have tried many!

I LOVE this scent! Its a lighter scent but it smells very much like dark mossy magic. I've never smelled another candle like it! I for sure will buy this one again, I'm obsessed!

What an excellent candle! Louisiana has a solemn quietness to it. The giant live oak trees and hanging moss that move spectrally in an otherwise deathly stillness. The bayous are haunted by the voodoo priests of time gone by. This remarkable fragrance will take to the gate of this world and the one beyond. Papa Legba waits! Highly recommend.

This candle reminds me of the Graveyard candle that Spireside had. It smelled exactly as it sounds like and that is fresh dirt and it was wickedly wonderful. This is a great substitute and I love the mix of the moss and grass smells. I know it sounds weird, but it really works well together. This is my go-to scent for scary movies!

Voodo Bayou is darker and more sinister than ghostly castle. It seems to have a hint of danger.
It seems to have more of an herb or musty swampy magic smell with a bit of a bite to it. Must be the gators....
I can definently see the appeal but i largely prefer Ghostly Castle. :)

I added Voodoo Bayou on a whim while stocking up on my fave (Ghostly Castle) and was pleasantly surprised at how much I love this one! The scent is smoky but sweet with a hint of spice. Like all Spireside candles, it doesn’t smell like any other candle I’ve ever encountered, with a more complex and mysterious scent than those you usually find. The throw from a single wick candle is insane; I can smell it all over the house. Highly recommended!

So far I've bought Voodoo Bayou, Alchemists Fire, Siren Seas, Lost Island, Mystic Space Headless Horseman Ride, and Ghostly Castle. I'm honestly obsessed with them, but Voodoo Bayou is my favorite. It's fresh, fruity, and crisp, and I haven't found another candle that smells like it. The candles are a bit pricy but you definitely get what you pay for.

Honestly, bought this because the name sounded good. I seen the scents in it, and said “sold.” I love earthy scents.
...and then I received it.
HOLY CRAP. It is AMAZING. I am so in love with this. I subscribed just for this scent. My daughter loves it too. She is always asking to use it.
10/10 would recommend.

This was my first buy from Spireside. Being from New Orleans, I saw the name of the candle, and I had to try it. I must say it didn't disappoint. Made me think of just relaxing in a boat on the bayou, strolling past all the moss trees,listening to nature, just perfect. This has a fragrance like no other. I will definitely buy more of this after exploring more fragrances, just tried jungle cruising and loved it as well. I may have to start a subscription....❤

I really love this one. They are all great. I love watching a scary movie with this candle, with all the lights off.
I have already had 2 of these, getting ready to get more. Great candle.

So this one is more masculine.. kind of like a Caribbean teakwood cologne.. but as with all these amazing candles, it has layers and phases of different scents as you use the product. At first it smells spicy and warm, kinda masculine on a cold sniff.
But once you get it burning it creates an entire atmosphere that relaxes me and puts me in the perfect headspace for reading, relaxing, hanging out.
I personally bought it bc I was reading an Anne rice book and it fit. I love how perfectly whimsical everything is. This company is so perfect for bibliophiles

Bought this candle as a recommendation from the website. I’m a big fan of spicy, sweet, and mysterious fragrances from Spireside such as Alchemist’s Fire and Forbidden Temple. I gave VooDoo Bayou a try and I wasn’t disappointed! An earthy, grassy, subtly sweet fragrance which I recommend to anyone who wants to add a mysterious vibe to their living space. Will order this item again!

The minute I saw the name of Voodoo Bayou, I had to have it! It's like it was custom designed for me. Its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever been to New Orleans in the spring (not on Bourbon St)? Early morning walking past artisan shops with fresh herbs and flowers and side streets with fleur de lis capped iron fencing with new green growths wrapping tendrils around the shiny black paint. This candle picks up a few of those particularly lovely scents and wraps it in a waxy memory of burning light.
Brittany
I cannot express enough how good this smells. By far one of my favorites. I hope it comes back every year!
Jessica
I’m not really getting bay leaf but it has a delicious mysterious scent, herbal and musky without being too incense-y or overpowering, smells like a fortune teller’s shop!
Kiersten Frankowski
I am a sucker for dark, spooky products so I had to try this. I am not a fan of overly smoke scented fragrances, but took a chance on this one because it was bay leaf smoke. I love this candle! Earthy and complex. It really is just as described and very enjoyable.
Molly
I bought this and Headless Horseman at the same time. In comparison this candle's smell seemed pretty understated, but I was pleasantly surprised to walk downstairs and find my whole basement smelling amazing! It's earthy and mysterious in the best way.
Yemaya
I have never ordered a candle from Spireside that I disliked! They really are my favorite candle company and Voodoo Bayou is definitely one of my new favorites, I get such an earthy and sweet scent from this candle it's so amazing!
Roya Backlund
I don’t know how they did it, but this candle completely conjures memories of swamps and bayous and the South. It’s my favorite Spireside candle. It’s probably my favorite candle right now PERIOD.
Kim
I ordered this candle with high expectations. The description of the scent sounded fun but I wasn't sure if the end product would live up to what I had imagined it smelling like in my head. I am very excited to say that it did! It is my favorite scent I've tried so far. Its strong enough to smell throughout the house if I put it in the large main living area but not over powering. I will be buying this one again.
Denise
I wasn’t too sure what to expect with this scent but it’s absolutely perfect! It smells earthy and seductive and almost dangerous but in a really good way. Imagine a warm summer night and moss draped trees and fireflies and the far off scent of a bonfire and the only light to guide you is from the full moon. THAT’S what this candle smells like.
Lauren
I was so happy I decided to order this candle. I absolutely love it! Smells just like it is described!
Irina
I adore this candle and will be devastated if it’s ever discontinued. Will buy an extra as soon as I can. ;)
Heather
This candle is wonderful! It absolutely reminds you of the wafting scents of magic and lore, dwelling in the haunting beauty that is the world of Voodoo!
