For me this is a staple in my waiting room office, it varies between this one, Siren Seas (which is generally the most popular with our clients) and Bootique Hotel Lobby, there’s something citrus and floral that really makes me love that one.

I agree with the other reviews that describe Voodoo Bayou as sultry. It's sweet and earthy and perfectly captures humid nights when the air is sweet and heavy. I really like this one!

This has been my favorite. Just now trying the wax melts and it smells just as amazing as the candles. Definitely wish it was still one of the main scents. Reminds me of fall and I usually get it during the fall time, I needed it earlier in the year this time around. Never a disappointment.

This is the wax melt I keep coming back to. The bay leaves make this scent so special and unique. It’s amazing for autumn but I could smell it all day every day happily.
Josh
This is a great scent. It was my favourite before I got my hands in Ghostly Castle, so now it’s my 2nd favourite. I always have this on hand

I actually DO live near the bayou, and if the real ones smelled like this, everyone would live in Louisiana. Someone in a review mentioned "sultry", and that's a perfect description. I'm sitting on my porch this evening, listening to the frogs and there's a Voodoo Bayou melt just inside the open doorway, and that wonderful scent is floating thru the air. Pretty dreamy.
Karianne Newton
I absolutely love this. The sent brings you to the bayou.
Rebecca Jernigan
Love this scent!
Hilary
Perfect for RPG games in a swamp, marsh, or bog setting. It's not unpleasant though, like you might imagine. Really great scent.

What? WHAT?! What in the... how...? I don't know how they did it, but this is 1000% perfect. I've never been on a bayou and I've never practiced voodoo, but this scent absolutely NAILS the idea of Voodoo Bayou. It's gloriously complex; it's sultry and sexy but also fresh and earthy and creepy. It's a little sweet, but there's a very subtle herbal thing underneath that keeps it clean. And it's not a cheap, headshop incense smell at all, it's very natural but fantastical at the same time. It smells like an open door you know you shouldn't walk through, but you couldn't live with yourself if you didn't. I don't know how to explain it, it's incredible. I have five other scents to try that are also wonderful, but I don't know how I'm going to want to smell anything but this for a long time. I have to stop writing about it, I can't get enough. My hat's off to you, Spireside. Honestly, this is a big, BIG WOW.

This reminds me of a sultry summer night in the south. I don't know how, but they managed to get the smell of humidity and heavy, mossy air, and make it smell FRESH, like walking in a graveyard after it rains. This one really freshens up a bathroom or bedroom.
Melanie
This is my ABSOLUTE favorite scent! Hard to describe, so I’ll just go with COMPLETELY INTOXICATING! The scents (no matter which one) are all great and long lasting. Super fast shipping too! THANK YOU ❤️
Hannah
I purchased one of each scent, and this was one of the ones that I enjoyed the most! It definitely gives me mysterious voodoo vibes.
Samantha
This has to be the best scent hands down. It's deep and sexy, relaxing and lively all at the same time. A perfect scent for any room and any season. You will not be disappointed in this one, you'll want to stock up on it. Imagine a hot steamy Louisiana night on the bayou, with the smell of the damp earth lingering in the air, a soft breeze passes and you catch a hint of citrus on the wind. It delights the senses and entraps your spirit.
Lori
Everyone in our house enjoys this scent. It's a full, deep scent, with a light berry type smell to balance it out. Not too heavy, doesn't overpower. Will definitely purchase again!

I was skeptical of the scents offered by Spireside because very few of the descriptions fit what I normally buy and love. It was the reviews that sold me, and I’m so glad I tried them! I’m horrible at describing scents but this one is the best parts of smoky, citrusy, earthy, and I have to agree with the comment below that it’s kinda sexy. This is the must have scent i didn’t know I needed and now I don’t ever want to part with it
Amanda
I ordered this scent out of curiosity based on the description but was kind of apprehensive. Omg, was this a great surprise! It has an earthy scent but with a bright pop of a citrus. It reminds me of lemon grass and wet earth but is also very clean smelling at the same time.
Jennifer
This scent is so hypnotic. It's dark but fresh, and dare I say sexy. It's like a hot summer night, in the best way. I ordered a pile of wax melts and this was definitely my favorite.
Marcy
I was so intrigued by Spireside that I ordered several wax melts to satisfy my curiosity. I was most hesitant about this scent but Voodoo Bayou is by far my favorite! Strong but not overpowering, earthy and sweet with a hint of citrus maybe? So glad I took the chance! My 14 year old niece popped over and said Auntie what is that??? It smells amazing!
Karianne Newton
As usual, amazing product with long burning smell.
Lauren A
This is one of my favorite scents. It is relaxing earthy/woodsy with a hint of spice and sweetness. It reminds me exactly what it's called. Its like if you were wandering through the bayou during a misty night and were welcomed into a mysterious voodoo witch doctors hut to be healed. I can see it being used year round.
Amie
I bought almost every wax melt scent in the collection to try them out and this is by far my favorite! It's absolutely intoxicating- deep, antique, and yet refreshing. So lovely. Will have to purchase candles and room sprays!!
Courtney
ZOMG! This smells so good! Kinda spicy, a little sweet and earthy. Not cloying or overwhelming. It makes me think of sitting on the porch with friends after a hot day having mixed drinks. I will def order again.
Nicole
I love this scent soooooo much! If you like Ghostly Castle you will love this. It’s like a stronger version of Ghostly Castle with a little bit of lemon and smoke.
PLEASE make this in room sprays and body soap!!
PeterDM
This new scent is intoxicating. It smells like a mix of green plant leaves with a light, sweet floral scent mixed with a light, smooth black pepper note that adds some dark sexiness. It’s the perfect scent for you and your partner to come home to after a romantic date on a hot summer night.
Jessica Ahmed
I was very pleasantly surprised when i smelled this one. Not too overpowering but a very unique scent that will take you back to New Orleans!
