I legit have this scent always in my wax melter. I can’t get enough of it. I buy different scents in candle-form to burn, and Ghostly Castle seems to be complementary to all of the scents. If this is your intro to Spireside, buy this scent.

Found this company around Halloween 4+ years ago. This is one of my go to scents along with Enchanted Library. Sets a definite mood. Love!
Nicole
This scent is so unique with its grassy bright notes and how they made must smell so pleasing. I wish it came in a body spray!! I would absolutely buy it if it did.
Laura
This company is simply magical and I've never loved a wax melt scent more than this!
This is a very comforting scent. You want to curl up and read a book with it wafting through your home.
Amanda Ragland
I can't even explain the smell of this. Definitely is a ghostly castle smell. I absolutely love it.
Julie K
I’m a wax melt junkie and this is hands down the most amazing scent I’ve ever smelled. I’ve been using it for about three years. This is my go to scent, hands down. It is so unique, yet cozy. I never write reviews, but I had to for this scent. If I could bathe in this, I would…lol. Please please never discontinue it! I’m obsessed!! If you order one product from Spireside, order this!

I put Ghostly Castle in my wax warmer while my kids were at school. When they walked in the door after school, the first thing my teenage son said to me was, "I don't know what you put in the air today, but it smells like nostalgia". If that's not a glowing review, I don't know what is! Ghostly Castle is a new favorite.
Kathy Wright
Great scent especially when used with Enchanted Library. Makes you feel like you are back in time almost. Unique scent.
Josh
My all time favourite Spireside scent!
Lisa
I’m a wax melt fanatic! I have tried every brand out there. These are the absolute best I’ve ever used. They are a little pricy but definitely worth it, you use less. The fragrance is hard to describe except it’s addicting. You can small it days after putting in a warmer.
Please please please don’t discontinue this fragrance!
Katie Murphy
I purchased 5 or 6 clamshells of different scents & this turned out to be the best one. I loved it so much that I put a piece of wax in a tiny plastic cup in my car during the hot summer so my car would smell good. I want everything in my life to smell like this constantly. It's just a cozy, warm scent that I feel would be impossible to not like, if you're into warm scents. I will continue to buy this forever, in any type of product it comes in - for home, body or otherwise!
Nicoke
This is a amazing smell that cant b described in words. Its soft but such a bold smell at the same time. Whenever the kids smell it, it brings them right back to the haunted mansion and they love it.
Nancy
There is no better smell in the world to me than this wax melt. Newborn babies, puppy breath or chocolate chip cookies baking have nothing on this scent. I order extra of this one in my subscription box because I'm so afraid of it being discontinued. I literally could not live without my Ghostly Castle melts. I also like to mix different scents together. Right now I just put Ghostly Castle, Enchanted Library and The Alchemist's Fire together in my wax burner. I have a glass of wine, my dog, Netflix and my wax melts burning. Could life be any better? I think not...
Jessica Goodey
This is one that my whole family loves.
Dina
Transcendental. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is, but I hope this scent lives evermore. Thank you for bringing your magic to us mortals, Spireside.
Eric
I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased Haunted Castle wax melts. Upon first sniff, I also wasn't sure about the scent. However, after burning, I found that I quite enjoy this smell! I've never smelled anything like it. Dusty, musty, graveyard does seem to fit, but it still smells clean. I think I'll save these for fall and winter, though, or a rainy day! Perfect to create a mood to sit on the couch, drink tea, and read.
Dina
It is, hands-down, one of my all-time favorite scents. And I have a loooot of candles and wax melts. Difficult to describe--just this wonderfully Halloween-cozy, mysterious, and curiously addictive concoction. I honestly can't get enough. Try it and join the Ghostly Castle Cult. ;) "One of us...one of us..."
Vicki A
I LOVE this scent! I would wear this in a rollerball!!! Please?! Looking forward to trying the soap when it comes back.
Nancy
The smell of this is amazing!
Erica
This one really surprised me! It really does remind me of walking into an old shop or sitting in a graveyard during the night hours. It’s so hard to describe the smell but it smells amazing. I took the plunge and purchased Spireside wax melts advertised via Facebook and was not disappointed! I will return and buy more! Five stars isn’t enough!
Tricia J
This one is so interesting, it's really hard to describe. It smells "old", but not in a bad way! Like walking into a beautiful old home with a hint of something otherworldly to it. It pairs really nicely with Enchanted Library.
Stacy Palmieri
This wax melt smells great!! Can’t describe it but it smells like what an old haunted house might smell like! Love it
Michael
These smell fantastic. Very different, but in a good way! Highly recommended.
Rebecca
Ghostly castle is one of my favorite scents of all time! The only reason I don’t have it burning 24/7 is because I don’t want to run out too quickly. It’s a very fresh scent but not “relaxing in a spa fresh”- more like “walking through a graveyard in the early hours of the morning after a stormy night” fresh. It’s the perfect scent to burn on a rainy, dreary day while snuggled up a blanket with a cup of tea and a scary movie. The throw is excellent and really fills up the room.
Holly
I've LOVED the idea of haunted castles since I was a little girl and this scent nails it. It smells musty and old yet clean and soft. The grasses come through as well. You wouldn't think "musty" could smell nice, but it does! It's kind of scent that envelops you and takes you in. Perfect for reading a good ghost story by the fireplace. If you have any doubts about this scent, put them aside and get it. You won't regret it.
Elizabeth
This was my favorite scent out of the items I ordered. It is, as others have said, hard to describe. I was surprised that I enjoyed it so much as a winter fragrance. I thought it might feel cold. But somehow it is both clean and comforting. It’s a very inviting fragrance and very unique. The wax melt lasted a long time and I would like to have the candle as well. I love the name too! It’s a nice candle to sit and read with at night.
Jenn Vaow
I love this earthy incense like scent! What really impresses me though is that I have had the same 2 cubes of wax in my melter for several days (melted 6 to 8 hours a day) and the scent is still good and strong!
Alicia Tanguma
Never been a fan of scented waxes as they all have the same boring scents. These are not boring at ALL! I can’t explain how much I love this scent in particular. 10/10 truly
Samantha
I tried this with Enchanted Library- WOW. I can't describe the scent but I do recommend trying it.
Ghostly Castle's musty scent is strong but is also somewhat sweet... It's so unique and truly a beautiful smell.
Christopher
I really can’t describe this scent but it is out of this world my favorite one out of all the ones I’ve tried
Rebecca
This is by far my favorite scent. It has a medium throw and if I close my eyes I can picture myself in an old spooky castle.
Zac
I love this smell! It is the best! Earthy, musty, and ancient! Gotta love it!
Christy Holmes
One of my favorite wax scents, not overpowering and my house smells amazing.
Tabatha Lopez
This smells sooooo good!! I can pick up the mustiness but it’s more of a rain smell to me. It puts me in a “cozy...fall or summer rain” feel while watching a movie next to an open window. I love it
Erin
This smell is one of my absolute favorites. I don't know how Spireside manages to make every "musty and dusty" smell take on cleanliness, but they do! This one smells like an old, cherished thing. But one that is used daily, so it's not dirty. It's a clean scent with hints of a light smoky smell, so it works well. I absolutely love this one, and get lots of compliments on it!
Lindsey
This smells somewhat similar to the Voodoo Bayou but sweeter. Got this for October to get in the spooky mood and it’s perfect! I can’t wait to order more and to try some of the other scents!
Kiersten
This is my absolute favorite Spireside scent (and I have reviewed it in the past) but the 1st time I am trying the wax melts. I knew they would be good, but I could not have imagined the throw these little cubes have! I have an extra small tealight warmer that can only handle 1/2 cube at a time. Woah! The throw is no different than if I were burning a full sized candle. Will be ordering more!
Domenique
I have this scent in my room. I turn the wax burner on a few hours before I go to bed. I shut the door to my room so it circulates. It is the perfect goodnight scent. Very calming and enjoyable.
Jamie Whitaker
This is my all time favorite! Its a subtle, spicy scent with little hints of floral notes. I have wasted so much money on scented candles I ended up hating, so I am very happy to have found Spireside! The quality is second to none and the scents are out of this world.
Christy Holmes
Compelling scent that lasts forever! Truly indescribable.
Briana Vilas
Had to order it just because of the name. Cant really describe the smell other than its pleasant and like nothing I have smelled before. I love it!!!
Marisa
Like others...I can’t describe how this smells...other than cozy! It’s reminiscent of fall without being overly done. You can use this scent all year! Ghosts are always in season!
Susan Davis
I had not had good luck with finding a wax melt that I could smell even with the burner within 12 inches from my nose. This filled the whole room!!! Second time was not as strong but still there. The aroma was beautiful and lingered after melting. Will be trying all the was melts.
Nicole
I can’t get enough of this smell. The grassy mustiness fills my house in such a pleasant way. I wish I could by it in sprays and soaps too!
Logan Carmichael
There's no real way to describe this scent other than....accurate. It's magical in every way! It's enchanting, long-lasting, and brings about a sense of mystique and calm all at the same time! It's Earthy, sweet, and very intricate. I absolutely LOVE it!
Shelby L.
It smells exactly how you'd hope. It has a deep scent that reminds me slightly of men's cologne but then the smell of a large old mansion. Something you'd only experience in a ghostly castle full of expensive antique wood staircases and smoky candles.
It also has held a scent for a week! That's the longest a wax melt has lasted for me and I have tried all different kinds. Spireside is where it's at.
Brandy
This is my favorite wax melt so far!
Zac
I love this scent! Good for a gothic aesthetic
Carrie Doering
I love this scent so much! It really brings the feeling of how an old castle would smell. Very unique and amazing!
Erika DelSignore
By far my favorite scent so far! Its dark and old smelling, but in a fabulous way, if you like the scent of old and almost woodsy this is perfect! I don't know how to explain it any other way!
Devon
Perfect scent for a brisk night and a good book. Fills the room just right.
Misty
Ordered for the 1st time and was not disappointed. Absolutely loved my wax melts. Ghostly Castle is by far my favorite. I've never smelled anything quite like it. It's a fresh, relaxing scent, mysterious and inviting. Definitely reminds me of an old gostly castle. I will be ordering again.
Stephanie Lamberson
Wonderful scent and makes my whole house smell wonderful!
Bree
This scent is so cool, and I’m very impressed with it. It smells just as it says. It really is musty and dusty, but they make it so inviting and pleasant. Where it may not seem it, it really is a fresh scent. I would recommend it to everybody for the Fall!
Rachel Scott
This is the scent I've been dying for! It smells just as I'd hoped - like the entrance to a lovely old Victorian funeral parlor, filled with old lace curtains and arrangements of funeral flowers just starting to decay. The melts are nicely fragrant with a soft and gentle throw that lingers a good while, even after the warmer has been turned off. I'm definitely obsessed. I want more! I just ordered a large candle in this scent and can't wait to receive it.
Stephanie Dorn
I was Skeptical of all these scents but this one is great. It’s not like anything else I’ve ever smelled before in a wax melt. You just have to try it. It’s so hard to explain but it’s oh so good!
mj
Great scent! Fills the room without being too heavy. It's a unique scent and pleasant scent. Recommend!
Jessica
I don't think I have ever loved a scent as much as I love this one! It smells exactly like a creepy, haunted castle, in the best way possible. There are nice scents, and then there are smells that create an atmosphere and mood. Ghostly Castle is the latter. I feel such a shift in my surroundings when I burn this scent. My boring house feels moody, mysterious, and somehow warm and cozy all at once. It's the kind of scent that makes me want to write a gothic novel...or be in one.
Nicole
The description of this scent intrigued me so I had to give it a try. I’m so pleased with my purchase! It smells amazingly like how a dark haunted castle might smell like. Not overwhelming or too strong, I would leave this scent burning all day if I could. I purchased Wizard’s Forest as well and cant wait to try it!
Joni
This is the perfect Halloween scent! I love it!
Clarke
The scent of leaves is at the forefront but not overpowering at all. Smells like a chilly morning in the Pacific northwest! I loved my candle sample of this so much I had to buy some wax melts!
