Dina L.

Hands-down, my favorite candle ever. And I am a hopeless candlehead. I can't even describe the scent except to say you've never smelled anything like it. Yet, there is an ever-present nostalgia. You're transported to another time, another world. Give it a try, you will not regret it!

Kelsea

Much like Enchanted Library, this is another Spireside scent that transforms when lit. It smells like an ancient, musty manor that has been left to decay, leaving who knows what (or who) with it. While not my favorite scent, it captures such a unique feeling/setting that only Spireside has the sorcery to bring to life

Jules

This candle is unlike any other; it is, by far, my all-time favorite. I'd describe the scent as....well, incredibly odd! It truly makes you feel like you are in a haunted castle -- just close your eyes, and imagine the dusty bookshelves and decaying walls. Ah, fantastic! I hope that one day, Spireside comes to horror conventions like Monsterpalooza, Son of Monsterpalooza, and CreepIE Con! I would give them all the business. HIGHLY recommend!

Kevin Scott

I love this candle. Its scent takes me to a place where shadows reign, where cobwebs decorate the walls and furniture, where the only light comes when lightning flashes, and where strange noises and images collaborate to add fear into the night. I use this candle at night when I read. Just me, this candle, and my kerosene lamp. And thunderstorm sounds from my phone.

Savannah

There’s a reason this candle has so many 5-star reviews! I’ve tried quite a few different Spireside candles, and so far, this one is hands down my favorite. I don’t know how it smells exactly like the description, but it does- it’s sweet, slightly masculine, and most of all, spooky! Love it!

Kelley

I absolutely love this scent but I have to be honest, I didn’t like this at first. The description says “Musty Carpets, Dusty Furnishings, Graveyard Grasses” and when I first opened it, it smelled like cleaning supplies to me. I was so confused. I thought it was gonna be my creepy, sultry, Halloween scent. Then I went back and read the description again “Ghostly Castle is a fresh, clean scent…” I must’ve missed that part. I don’t usually like clean scents. Plus, how can a scent be both “clean” and “musty”/“dusty”? I figured I would give it a try anyways so I put it in my wax burner and waited. OMG. Magic! I can’t explain how amazing it smells! It really does smell like an old castle somehow. I was watching “The Worst Witch” while enjoying the scent and the fall leaves outside and it was perfection.

Val S

Ghostly Castle is my favorite candle! It has an amazing and unique scent. When people visit my home, they fall in love with the scent. I always keep this candle around at my house. I highly recommend it!

Matt G

You have some amazing scents, but Ghostly Castle is hands down my favorite; please never stop producing it! What's ironic is that I make candles as a hobby, but Spireside is the only commercial seller I will buy from!

Bonnie

This scent is my husband's favorite. It's truly special. Somehow it brings you to a mysterious, old castle surrounding by dewy grass. We love burning it each fall.

Morgan

My absolute favorite Spireside scent! Please never stop making this.

Natalie

I am writing this review so Ghostly Castle stays on top for the most reviews!

Dona

I have waned to try these candle for months but held off because I though they were a little pricey. The scents sound amazing but I worried how well they would smell. However, I wish I won the lotto because I love this scent so much i wish i could carry it with me everywhere. This is my favorite candle I used it up in a week. I lit it every chance I got because I enjoyed it so much. I definitely getting more of this. I am glad I tried them and it was not just a gimmick.

Laura Witwer

This will sound silly, but I order a new Ghostly Castle candle every year for October - it's my favorite "October scent"! So good!!!

Sarah

If you can imagine a ghostly castle, this is exactly what it would smell like- at least I hope so! It is hard to describe the sent but it is incredible- a little musky, earthy, with a hint of old perfume, not overpowering at al. I love it!

Autumn

This is probably my all time favorite candle! I love the grassy scents this candle offers, and that it really does make you feel like you are walking through a long-forgotten castle or mansion.

Chloe

What's not to love? A gorgeous candle with an equally gorgeous scent – makes me feel like I'm wandering the halls of an abandoned castle. Absolutely loved the one I got and will most likely get another!

Julie

So creepily good smelling!! The scent fills our house so well! Seriously so amazing! Huge fan!

Dina

The candle of all candles. The scent of all scents. It really is that good. It has the power to bring about world peace, solve the climate crisis, and cure all diseases. Okay, maybe it doesn't. But it is nothing short of phenomenal. Come join the Ghostly Castle Cult. "One of us...one of us..."

Nicole Hampson

What can I say about this scent? Other than if you haven’t tried it out, you’re missing out! It smells soooo good! I placed an order for 4 candles back in the beginning of March, and now on my third order today cause I burn them everyday! I’ve never purchased a candle that immediately engulfs my entire house, and I have a 2-story house. This one particularly, I absolutely love! I have the wax melts too. I just can’t get enough. Thank you Spireside for adding another addiction to my list! LOL Like I need anymore! hahahahahha!!!

Amy Bilson

I got my candles and they smell amazing! Only been burning them about ten minutes and I can smell them through the house. Wow. Will buy more. I only regret not buying sooner!

Matthew Gartzke

I originally stumbled across this candle in a Facebook ad. I was intrigued by the name ghostly castle. I read the description of it and decided to take a dive. If you let your imagination run with the scent, it definitely does give you an old castle/ musty graveyard vibe. It has a distinct ability to calm me like no other candle. I have never been more happy with a candle in my life. I am reordering another Ghostly Castle, and I even think I will try Forbidden Temple as well!

Kaylee Wolf

Hands Down the BEST one. My very first purchase from Spireside. I bought it for my boyfriend as a Halloween gift and I don't have the words to write how good this is. It is mystical, foggy, the perfect amount of spooky, but clean and inviting. It it literal perfection! A complete masterpiece and turned us both into diehard Spireside fans. It is our very favorite one we have burned through 2 candles of this scent and I have 1 on the way! We haven't tried every single scent yet but we've tried several and this one is still our favorite!! If you only have the budget for one this is the one I promise you'll love it!

Carol Wade

I received my Ghostly Castle candle today and I love it. I am burning it for 4 hours. I love that I can be in another room and still smell it. All of the candles I have bought in the past from other companies I have had to be practically sitting on them to smell them. This candle has a pleasant yet unique smell. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer. Thank you!

Dina

What a magnifi-scent candle. It really does capture the spooky atmosphere. You are transported to a haunted castle in the late 1800s, complete with winding staircases and yellowing fabric wallpaper. Yet, it is also fresh and clean (graveyard grass). You can burn this year-round without it feeling out of place. I don't know how they do it. Must be magic.

Caitlin

When I saw these candles advertised, I KNEW I had a new candle company obsession. These fragrant notes are BIZARRE lol you really don’t know what to expect. And when you read “musty furniture and graveyard” you know they mean something else that smells better... but strangely it all fits. First whiff is musky, incense-y, smokey, warm, comforting. The more I burn it though I really do smell musty furniture, and earthy notes. It’s so cool. It smells like my grandmas house, which was always a whimsical booksy place. I don’t know how y’all do it but bravo!

Robby

This candle is great! I've tried about 7 or 8 different Spireside candles and this is by far my favorite one, followed by Voodoo Bayou. I have a limited budget for candles and like to try new things but this is the first one I've ever reordered. It fills the room just right with a smell that really does make you feel like you are in a haunted castle or a long abandoned place. I love to burn this while reading something spooky.

Pamela Drews

It has a clean and musky smell but it all just comes together so perfectly. I will definitely buy again. This company has the fastest shipping. Very pleased with my purchase.

Amy Khuhro

I am in love with this collection. I am a returning client as I can’t live without these. I have Ghostly Castle and will be getting the soaps. ImThe ambiance it creates is phenomenal. It’s perfect for a cold, dreary day, it has that hint of ancestors watching over as you pull away into a good book!

Nina

This candle smells like a sweet and musty study full of secrets and a secret passageway.

Angel

My favorite candle by far! Has a very calming and spooky scent . The moment I lit it I felt like I walked in an occult shop !

Delaney

This is the absolute BEST candle I have ever smelled, I'm obsessed!

Justin

Being the Halloween loving fanatic I am, I was looking for some Fall scented candles that could help me up the ambiance in these dark and secluded times. Never being a big candle person, I decided to check out the webstore after seeing an ad, and boy am I glad I did. You'd think spending $100 on a couple candles would be outrageous, but holy schnikes these are amazing. I ordered this Ghostly Castle and the Headless Horseman's Ride - the Horseman's Ride was first in my cart, but I wanted another one, just to sample several scents. I was intrigued by the name "Ghostly Castle" but also hesitant - what does dusty furnishings and musty carpets smell like? Is this a joke candle I would buy for a friend as a prank and laugh as they stunk up their house? However the rave reviews swayed me, and I purchased this one as well. My order was shipped promptly and arrived much quicker than I expected - in plenty of time for the Holiday season. And wow was I blown away. The amount of COZY this candle radiates from its scent is wonderful. If anyone ever describes a Ghostly Castle as NOT cozy and welcoming, I will refer them straight away to this candle to prove them wrong. Even my wife, who was shocked that I would spend good money on some scented candles, quickly dropped her protests as soon as she walked into my office one morning while I had this candle lit. From this point on I am a fan, and will be a returning customer without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you, Spireside!

Robby J.

This candle hit everything I was looking for after reading the descriptions and reviews. Much cleaner than I thought it would be but soo spooky. It puts me in the middle of a castle late at night but close to a door that leads to the graveyard.

Kristin A Toscano

I love this one! This and Enchanted Library are two of my favorites. I buy the double wick and it lasts forever. Love love love.

Roya

This was my first order from Spireside. When I smelled this candle, the first thing I said was “oh my...how did they capture the scent of a ghostly castle?!” Literally the best candle I’ve ever smelled!! I love all things spooky and this candle is A++++. The scent is strong yet not going to give me a headache. I can smell every part of a ghostly castle in this candle-I don’t know how to explain it but it’s so good! Buy this! You won’t regret it. I’m so glad I came across this company. I’m definitely going to be buying more.

Eliesha

This was my first purchase from Spireside. The smell if this candle is so complex and wonderful. Usually candles smell so flat. I plan on buying more flavors for sure. Im thinking of getting the horsemen next for Halloween.

Amber

I decided to purchase this based on favorable reviews. When I first smelled it I wasn't sure what to think. It is very different, but in a good way. I quickly fell in love with the scent. so much so that I ordered the wax melts as well. I also like that these candles are not overpowering in their scents. Some candles tend to be so strong they give me a headache. I'm glad I found this brand, its worth the money.

Susie

This scent is downright spooky and wonderful! It conjures up the delightful essence of a spirited old home.

Christy Baker

So, I’m reeeaaallly into candles. I’ve had a hard time getting them during the pandemic and decided to check Spireside out. Buying a candle without smelling it is risky, but these are incredible! My first order was 7/21...I just placed my 3rd order haha. Ghostly Castle is my favorite scent so far! It’s so unique and smells haunted (in the best way ever). It would’ve been Edgar Allan Poe‘s favorite scent.

Janice Jackson

I was fascinated with the idea of candle with the scent of a "Ghostly Castle"! I really could not imagine what that would be. I got my candle yesterday and the scent is lovely - hard to describe. Awesome and high quality.

Kate Meek

This candle literally makes me feel like I'm in a ghostly castle. Smell mysterious and amazing!!

Lauren

I couldn't be happier with the quality of these candles! They smell exactly how they are described. I love Ghostly Castle so much, even more when paired with Enchanted Library. Great candles, Great company!

Pam Elmo

Bought a small jar just to see what all the fuss was about..... Could a candle be this good? Well, this scent intrigued me from the start. Hard to describe and so different and I am in love. Time to order larger size!

Monica

This scent is one of a kind. Smells exactly as described. So good!! I love Spireside candles and this one is my favorite. On my next order, I will for sure order the bigger size one.

Love the subtlety and complexity of this scent. You can't describe it as green, or floral, or spicy, or any of the typical descriptors- although you do get some damp green-ness within the musty notes. It kind of smells like the beginning of a storm on what was previously a hot and dusty day. My #1 favorite, Enchanted Library, goes great with Ghostly Castle. I have also tried it with Headless Horseman's Ride, which is also good but it does get a little overwhelmed by the strength of that one.

Amanda Hetisimer

This is my absolute favorite Spireside scent and I have tried almost all of them. It is such a unique scent but I can’t get enough of it. I ordered more in both size candles and the melt. It has a slight musty smell almost like you can smell the combo of wet grass and cement gravestones. It sound strange but it’s so good. I highly recommend it, you won’t be disappointed.

David

How felicitous it was, the day I discovered this enchanting candle! It calls to mind a dark and stormy night, restless spirits wandering the halls of a long-forgotten abode, flashes of lightning, echoes of thunder through empty rooms, a menacing windblown rain falling on the sweet grass of the graveyard outside, restless dreams, and phantom encounters. In short, my favorite scent of all time. Close your eyes and let your imagination wander through a Ghostly Castle of your very own. Do your self a favor and subscribe. You can thank me in the afterlife.

ASHLEY MERRITT

This is the first candle I tried from this company, and the first artisan candle I have ever purchased. I had been on the hunt for a smell that reminded me of a graveyard or a haunted house, and this did not disappoint. It's hard to describe it - you really need to smell it for yourself - but this scent truly gives me a ghostly vibe. Since my first purchase, I have tried quite a few Spireside candles, and every single one has been great quality.. But this scent will always be #1 in my book.

Danielle

This was another favorite of mine, though I would argue that they are all my favorite!

Amanda Ragland

Smells exactly as it sounds!! No other candles like it! Cant express how much I love it!!

Julia Isaacs

It smells exactly like described and is now one of my favorite Fall/Halloween go-tos. You won't be disappointed!!!

Erin

As if I wasn't sold on these candles, I lit this one today! Such a pleasing fragrance, exactly the smell I would think of inside a ghostly castle. I am in love!

Kat

This was my first Spireside candle and I am so in love with it. If you like complex scents that transport you to another place and time, this is it. I love the musky notes and need a candle or oil that smells like that alone. Please consider creating mix and match single note scents!

Emily

This is the best smelling candle I've ever had! It is totally unique - I've never smelled another candle like it. I definitely will keep ordering it, as well as a few other scents!

Chloe LaPointe

Love the way it smells! Definitely what I’d imagine a haunted house to smell like. This is such a creative company.

Jill

My favorite of the 4 sample size candles I ordered, with Pirates Revenge coming in a close second. We loved these so much that we ordered samples of nearly all the other scents. Can't wait to discover all of my favorites and order full sizes candles!

Alex

I found this to be one of the softer, less fragranced of the candles I've tried. The scent is absolutely lovely and in no way do I pick up the musty smell others have. I just have a hard time smelling it once it's burning because I have sinus issues. But if you're a fan of the description and notes of the candle and like a more subtle scent or have a sensitive nose then I'd say you MUST try this candle!!

Mercedes M.

Fall is absolutely my favorite season, and this candle brings me so much joy when I'm waiting for fall to come back again. I never thought that a smell like this could really be captured, but Spireside really pulled it off. It's a scent that is somehow both creepy and comforting, and I can't believe I'm just now getting my hands on it! These candles fill a room incredibly quickly, too.

Lindsey Carver

This candle absolutely changes the atmosphere in your home. The description is everything it says and so much more!

Brittany Menard

This is the most spooky/sweet candle ive ever had the pleasure of owning. It’s like a warm, ghostly omnipresent entity, and it covers your whole household in a wonderfully ominous scent. Not too sweet, and definitely a fan favorite. I’ve already given away two of these candles and was met with nothing but honest excitement and surprise. Very impressed with Spireside, can’t wait to test and be impressed yet again.

Lisa Simmons

Of the four samples I received, this one is the most intriguing! As others have reviewed and written, it's a difficult scent to define because it sends mixed messages of inspiration. It's very clean, but underneath, there is a hint of mystery and gentle, gentle spice. Like the other candles, it perfumes the entire room. :) My favorite candle so far is Headless Horseman's Ride, but Ghostly Castle is my second favorite because of its understated complexity.

Jackie

I was blown away by the smell, if i was to guess what a Ghostly Castle smelled like, this would be it! Not to mention the smell is strong enough to fill a room. A lot of store bought candles, i found don't do that. KUDOS SPIRESIDE!!!

Casa

Such a complex and interesting scent, in such a good way! It smells damp and cold, but at the same time it is still somehow warm and inviting. There is a hint of grassiness in the background. It smells like damp stone in a graveyard but again, somehow it is still cozy. It is their most complex scent in my opinion. I didn't think I would like this one until I lit it. I was on the fence when I ordered it in a sample pack, but it sounded too intriguing to pass up. Well, I am glad I picked this one, because I ended up liking it so much that I ordered the full size. This would make a great scent for the Halloween season, but I am a dark lady, so I will be lighting it all the time :P

Phil

I’ve bought a ton of candles over the years attempting to relive my holiday related happiness through the year and most fail. Either they smell too sweet or the scent fades too quickly when you aren’t hovering directly over the candle. I ordered several candles that I thought might cheer me up by reminding me of Fall and Halloween while I’m stuck in the house under Coronavirus quarantine. This was the first candle we lit out of our order and immediately after removing the lid I said to myself, “Damn, this is the best smelling candle I’ve ever bought’. My wife came out of the bedroom a little late (quarantine perk), and as she walked down the hall asked, “What is that delicious smell?” The scent REALLY does smell like the description and the scent is somehow not overpowering but still very present, even in large rooms. The shipping was very quick and the price was perfect. Highly recommended purchase.

Julia Isaacs

I ordered this candle last Halloween and OMG Y'all! It smells EXACTLY how it sounds! Thank you Spireside, you have a Customer for life! Very impressed!

Kate Meek

Smells more like a ghostly castle than I imagined!! I dont know how they do it but I cant wait to try gothic library now!!

Sarah

This is the best candle I have ever smelled! The scent is so unique, you would never find anything like this in a store. Perfect for sitting in a comfy chair, drinking a cup of tea and reading a good book! Cannot say enough good things about this candle!

Huma

Cobwebs and wet cobblestones are evoked by this spooky heady yes pleasantly musky and musty candle think that wonderful damp smell after a rain simply spooky loveliness!!

Casa Basa

This scent is wonderful! If you close your eyes and breathe in through your nose, it smells sort or damp/cold but yet somehow still very warm and inviting. There’s a hint of grassiness underneath. It would make an awesome autumn scent. I didn’t pick up on the “dusty/musty/old” smell that some others were saying, which is good because that was what worries me when i ordered it. So i was afraid i wouldn’t like it but ordered it anyways because of how intriguing it sounded. Andddd i really really like it! I ordered it in the sample pack and am definitely going to subscribe and get the full size.

Susie

I got this scent as a sample and wasn’t sure I was going to like it when I smelled it. I remember reading other reviews saying something similar but then when they lit the candle, they liked it. When I lit the candle, I was pleasantly surprised because it wasn’t overpowering at all. It’s not a heavy scent when lit. I can smell it but it doesn’t overpower the room. I’m used to store bought candles that are way too strong and give me headaches. I’d given up on candles until this website and was very intrigued by the scent options. I’m glad I made this purchase!

Caitlin

At first in the jar I was iffy about the scent. Once I lit it it It became an instant favorite. It smells sweeter than I expected with a hint of musk. Once this candle is done I'm going to order another one because this is now my favorite candle. Ever.

Corri

This candle smells so good—it’s masculine without being overpowering; it’s mysterious but clean; it’s appropriate for any time of day or year.

Kathleen

This is so hauntingly beautiful it's now my new favourite candle. So glad it is on my subscription list so I'll never be without it. :)

Nicole

It's a bit sweeter smelling than I originally expected, but I love it all the same! Musky and sort of clean smelling. Easily a favorite of mine and my friends. All Spireside candles I've had have been a perfect strength — they can fill a room but aren't overpowering. Definitely recommend!

Elizabeth

This candle transports me straight to a haunted castle. Love this scent especially when I'm reading a good gothic horror story!

I love this one!

Kathleen

Not “dusty” or “musty” at all. Very warm and inviting. Not overpowering. Scents the whole house when burning. Love it!!

Kristan

This scent is so good. Kind of like a warm but soft musk. Made my house smell lovely. I didn't find it overpowering. Just perfect.

This candle smells wonderful! It is more subtle and would be perfect for a small space.

This candle smells amazing! perfect for fall/Halloween and, a cold rainy day!

It’s difficult to describe how a scent can be creepy, but this one is. It evokes a mood of dampness, coziness, creepiness. My partner and I recently bought a new house, and it’s mostly horror themed. This candle burns in my study, and compliments the ambiance beautifully. Creates the most lovely, dark atmosphere for focus and work. I’m sure I will be getting this one again, and again, and again.

Amanda

One of my favorite scents that I have ordered. Will be a staple for fall!

Christina

A fresh, cold scent reminiscent of damp and drafty stone castles, but with an underlying warm, pleasant funkiness. Fantastic!!

Garrett

I honestly think I could smell this everyday and never get sick of it!

Keeley Minor

This is the perfect candle for scary movie nights and cold foggy days. The smell floats through the room even without lighting the candle! My only critique is that I wish the “graveyard grasses” scent was a bit stronger to counter the mustiness with some freshness. Nevertheless, I definitely feel transported to an eerie, abandoned castle whenever I use this candle! I will be ordering again!

Just got my Ghostly Castle candle today and I lit it immediately! It's an amazing combination of scents. Earthy, clean, dark and mysterious. I've never experienced anything like it. I cant wait to try other scents, but this one I will definitely buy again!

This is my favorite candle I have ever purchased! The smell is amazing. Perfect candle in my book. Please don't ever discontinue permanently!

Alexandra

This candle is one of my favorites. Exactly as described! It reminds me of a cold, foggy day and old castles.

Cynthia

I was having a hard time imagining what the scent would be like, but it's described perfectly! I love it especially for evenings knitting, I feel like I'm in a castle tower. I tried the sample, and just ordered the full size candle.

Heatherly

My office space is the personal chamber in my house where I let my spooky side loose. It's where I create and display my dark accumulations. In my search for a candle or essential oil to match my surroundings, I happened upon Ghostly Castle, my first Spireside purchase. All I can say that it blends in perfectly with my personality and my environment, and perfectly accents my oddities and darkly imagination. I couldn't be more pleased.

Gina

This is my favorite scent! I love the antique nostalgia conjured by the musty notes. It’s soothingly perfect, burns clean, and lasts for many hours.

Alexandra

This candle has a mysterious yet comforting scent. The mustiness is so nice. Great for a rainy day inside.

Dawn

This is the best fragrance ever! I got my first one for Halloween last year, but could not wait until the upcoming Halloween, so I ordered more and have been using mine all year. The scent is different and alluring - not fruity or too sweet. There is a tinge of mustiness, like an old forgotten basement but in a nice way, and a grassy presence, and perhaps...a clay kind of smell. It all sums up to a delicious ambiance that reminds me of a Cape Cod cottage, or any dank place in New England. But it's delicious. I have many fragrances, but this is, by far, my favorite!

TRACY

This candle is by far my favorite of all I have tried. I am amazed how it smells exactly like the description. Scent is room filling but not overpowering at all. The candle last a long time too. Just fantastic!

Rachelle

This candle just is as accurately described as can be... you can smell something like an old castle but it isn't dirty smelling...the most prominent note I pick up is the grass as well.

Karleigh

This was the first candle I lit and I am so happy I made the purchase. It really does remind me of walking through a creepy graveyard, you get all kinds of different accents and smells that transport you to a different place. Good job, this is definitely gonna be one of the top ones that I go back to all the time.

Breanna

This candle is so unique! I don't know how they do it, but you can literally smell the damp grass in the morning in the "graveyard". It has a mustyness to it but still smells fresh and clean! I love this candle!

Kelly

I LOVE this candle. It is so unique and perfect for any time of year. It is my favorite "haunted" type scent I have ever had. Definitely a permanent must have!

JoAnna Henscheid

A refreshing change of pace from the standard apple or pumpkin scents for this time of year. It is definitely hard to describe the scent, but I fell in love with it right away! It goes well with my gouhlish Halloween decor. Spooky and cute!

Cullen

Tough to describe but is reminiscent of cold wet stone and exotic antiques. Clover and sandalwood, maybe? Wonderful for Halloween!
