MARKED
“You never saw him. And that’s exactly how he wanted it.”
He noticed you before you noticed him.
From across the room. Behind the glass. Somewhere just beyond the light.
Watching. Learning. Waiting.
By the time you finally feel his eyes on you, it’s already too late.
Marked was created for the dark romance reader who knows she should be terrified of the morally gray man lurking in the shadows, but turns the page hoping he’s there anyway.
Dark rose and black currant lure you in first, seductive and deceptively beautiful. Worn leather and rich oud begin to darken the fragrance, while warm amber wraps around the blend with a deep, sensual heat.
Beneath it all, something darker lingers. The kind of scent that feels less like someone walked into the room and more like someone was already there.
Dark. Seductive. Possessive. Obsessive.
The scent of a man who already knows your routines, your favorite coffee order, the way you bite your lip when you're nervous, and exactly how long he can remain in the shadows before you finally realize...
you've already been marked.

VELVET AFTER DARK
Marked is part of Velvet After Dark, a bookish fragrance collection by Southern NovelScents created for the stories we probably shouldn't love nearly as much as we do.
Dark romance. Dangerous obsession. Forbidden desire. Morally questionable decisions.
No specific character. No specific book. Just the tropes that keep us turning pages long after we should have gone to sleep.

MADE BY SOUTHERN NOVELSCENTS
Every Southern NovelScents fragrance is custom created and blended in-house to capture the character, story, trope, or world that inspired it.
Marked's fragrance blend is exclusive to Southern NovelScents, and each product is handcrafted in small batches with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients.
Our fragrance oils are phthalate-free and selected for safe use in their intended applications when products are used as directed.
Because our wax products are handcrafted using natural wax, slight variations such as frosting, texture changes, or minor surface imperfections may occur. These are completely normal and do not affect fragrance performance.
CANDLE CARE
For candle purchases only:
Your first burn matters. Allow the melted wax to reach the edges of the vessel during the first burn to help establish an even burn pattern and prevent tunneling.
• Trim wick to approximately ¼ inch before each burn
• Allow a full melt pool to form on the first burn
• Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time
• Keep away from drafts, children, and pets
• Never leave a burning candle unattended
PROCESSING & SHIPPING
• Each item is handcrafted by Southern NovelScents
• Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing, although most orders ship much sooner
• Tracking information will be provided once your order ships
• Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase. After that time, production may have already begun.
