The Plant Guru



Company endorsement...

For anyone who digs on the incense, The Plant Guru is a great company with reasonable prices, free and fast shipping, and fantastic products.  I had clove and pumpkin spice incense sticks burning on Halloween night during trick-or-treating hours and it really loaded on the atmosphere.

Naturally I overbought, so now I burn ten at a time on the porch with the windows open.  Someone's going to call the fire department (one neighbor confessed she thought I smoked weed and I was burning incense so much to hide the scent).  This uptight guy was offended.

Halloween Scents

We've been burning those wonderful Anise & Clove tea lights that I was pushing a while back... from the Soy-n-Suds Etsy shop.  That scent mingled with the toasted pumpkin smell of a warm jack o'lantern lid is insanely awesome.

Halloween Candles

So I ordered some Anise wax cubes and Clove wax cubes from a shop on Etsy.com, melted them down with an orange dye cube, and poured them into three small candle tins.
The scent is very earthy and smoky, not quite anise and not quite clove.  We haven't lit them yet, but I have high hopes they'll throw a nice strong scent.

Notice the way the wax caved in around the wicks.  A candle-maker I'm not.  But the house smells really nice.

Kringle Halloween Candles

Fright Night
Fiendishly delightful Citrus notes swirl magically with rare wood accords.

Witches' Cauldron
Primary notes of Cloves and Cedar dance mysteriously with hints of Incense, Citrus and other exotics. Utterly bewitching.

Wolf's Bane
While folklore suggests this unassuming yellow woodland flower might repel werewolves, we're sure its delightful floral fragrance will have you happily howling at the moon!

Witch City Wicks

The salty scent of the sea softened with forest greens, jasmine, green apple, juniper berries and musk.


















Star anise, fennel, spicy cinnamon cassia, nutmeg, fresh green herbs, amber and woods.

















Creamy vanilla offset with spicy clove and touch of black pepper gives it a nice kick.


















A must have for any Twin Peaks fan! A warm woodsy fragrance with bergamot, a heart of rose and violet, rounded out with amber, sandalwood, vanilla and a mysterious, earthy undertone.  


















Frankincense and sandalwood are two of the best scents to aid in opening psychic awareness, in addition to custom designed "spirit board" label.

Kringle Candles

Spicy woody undertones marry sweetly with the unmistakable and nostalgic aroma of crunchy fallen leaves.

















A rich licorice/fennel base blends with slightly sweet, toasty caramel and vanilla notes.

The warm, sweet, earthy intensity of Clove is like no other, truly one of nature’s great gifts.

Alien Scent

From Nature's Garden Candles:
A magical fragrance oil by Natures Garden that will make you feel like the Princess of the Universe!  Notes of bright melon and sparkling mandarin are mixed with orange blossom, star jasmine, and rose.  A woody base is supplemented by vanilla and musk.













And I thought Aliens smelled like Screaming.

Village Candle

This truly unique blend of fresh pumpkin and chrysanthemums is laced with clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. The essence of a trip to the farmer’s market, in a candle. 


















Halloween has become the perfect Holiday to throw a party and have lots of fun! Create ‘Spooktacular” ambiance with this Honorary Black Licorice Halloween.
  
















Combine the fresh scent of sweet apples and the rustic richness of oak, and you've got one of our founder's favorite candles The essence of this rich and woodsy fragrance rekindles memories of country fairs, apple picking, and a long brisk walk through crisp, fallen leaves.

















Sensual and earthy, this fragrance will transport you back to the 1960's in no time at all.
Bought this one yesterday after finding it at a local supermarket.
What it SHOULD say is:
Witches conjuring dark things with powdered bones and ancient spells.

Prairie Antiques

CAMPFIRE SMOKE: This smoky wood scent will send you back to summer nights around the bonfire, warm and inviting with a hint of the outdoors.

CANDY CORN: Just like the halloween candy! A well rounded blend of vanilla & caramel.

PUMPKIN EGGNOG: Fresh pumpkin, sprinkles of cinnamon and clove, creamy vanilla custard and background notes of fresh apple, musk and cedar.

PUMPKIN SPICE: Warm pumpkin with a blend of cinnamon, clove & nutmeg.

SMOKY MOUNTAIN: A warm smokey scent like that of a crackling fire with a hint of cedarwood. Blends so well with the primitives, like being in an old log cabin!

SWEET CINNAMON PUMPKIN: Sweet pumpkin pie, cinnamon, brown sugar and freshly whipped cream. Sweeter and more pumpkiny than our pumpkin spice.

TWILIGHT WOODS: This warm musky blend opens with citrus highlights that accent a heart of fresh white flowers. Lily and muguet bloom in a soft bouquet as a highly textured wood complex soothes the senses. Exotic musk is sweetened with golden amber and black vanilla at the base of the scent.


WITCHES BREW: A celebration of patchouli, cinnamon and cedarwood.

Witch City Wicks

That computer monitor smell-port would come in handy right about now...

Black Phoenix Alchemy

Whenever I go to this site, I feel three things:
1.  I wish computer monitors came with a small scent-port so I could sample these things.
2.  I think this site is the online equivalent of going to a haunted mansion.
3.  I feel like if I order something I'm somehow an unknowing member of an online cult.

Something's just OFF about it.  And that's not a bad thing.  Just a vibe I get.  I trust my vibes.

Anyone ever order from these guys?

Hallow's Eve

Imagine seeing this in a store.  There was a moment where I didn't want to open it.  Like when you don't want to check your lottery ticket because you know it'll spoil the feeling that you JUST MIGHT be a millionaire. 

Well, I opened the lid and smelled it....  and it was a strong cologne scent.  Like something your uncle would wear.  That uncle who creeps you out.  The one nobody wants to sit next to on Christmas.

Candle Shoppe

A few photos from a Candle Store at Peddler's Village.
Was surprised to see the "Happy Halloween" (licorice) scent still being sold.  Probably left over from last year.  The "Sleepy Hollow" scent was pretty cool...woodsy and incensy.
