Baldur’s Gate 3 is very immersive, but it doesn’t yet offer a scent-DLC. And that’s where Planeshift Candles comes in. The candle company shares, “Lighting a candle while playing at home immediately makes TTRPG play more of an immersive experience. Being able to breathe in the scents of the setting helps visualise the world and creates a more engaging experience, while playing together with friends or at home online.” We couldn’t agree more. And Planeshift Candles actually takes their Baldur’s Gate 3 character candles a step further when it comes to bringing the game to life.

The official description for the collection notes, “Each candle is inspired by a different Origin Character and has been designed based on their canon fragrance (if it is available!) and elements about their character.” Oftentimes, character-based candles rely only on the characters’ personalities to inform their scent. But in the case of these, there’s an actual scent to be inspired by. That’s taking immersion to another level.
