The scent of sandalwood, oak, and leather evokes a grand university library, where towering shelves of leather-bound books carry centuries of knowledge. Oxford Library is earthy, rich, and timeless, with a cologne-like sophistication that suits both readers and dreamers.

Oxford Library was the very first bookish candle - before anyone else was making them - and our 8oz jar remains the classic size. With a bold scent throw, it instantly creates a rich, bookish atmosphere for reading, writing, or unwinding. Each jar burns around 40 hours, making it a steady companion through many stories

We hand-pour each candle with soy wax and a cotton wick for a clean, steady burn. Packaged in a recycled glass jar, Oxford Library is as sustainable as it is evocative. Light it to bring the calm and inspiration of an old-world library into your own space.

I would have a hard time chosing!

This is my second "batch" of Frostbeard candles. I would have a hard time choosing a favorite, but I really like Oxford Library. Or Babylon Candle. Or Darcy's Parlour. :) I just love that fact that these put out a good amount of scent, but smell.....interesting. Not full of fake perfumey, fruity strangeness. I have another batch on the way and I can't wait to see what those will be. And every single one so far, burns perfectly and for a very long time.

My All Time Favorite, So Far!

If you love the smell of leather as much as I do, Oxford Library is a MUST HAVE in your candle library! The leather fragrance is the primary scent and when balanced with the sandalwood and oak, it smells just like an English estate library should. I always have to have this candle on hand. In fact…time to reorder! I am so happy it is a permanent fragrance for Frostbeard, and it has made a repeat customer out of me!

GREAT!

This is STRONG. This was a gift for Father’s Day. My dad burned through it in a month and we could smell it through out the entire house. Nice clean smell and STRONG.

Nice Strong Complex Scent

I am a first time customer who loves strongly scented candles (our old farmhouse needs those) and prefer a more earthy/masculine/ deeper kind of scent blends. Oxford Library has a 'fresh' paper-ish (to my nose) element that comes out first before the deeper leather notes, and of the four scents I tried this one is my hands-down favorite... (for now) as well as having the strongest throw. A wonderful complex scent that I would love to smell in every room of our home.... every day.

Top 5

This is definitely one of the best candles from Frostbeard, up there with Bookstore (and that is by far my favorite). The oak and leather are heavy in this, with a light sweetness of sandalwood. This candle is just a standard of any library or study.

Fantastic!

This was my first purchase from Frostbeard Studio and I am absolutely in LOVE. My only problem now is to decide which scent I should choose next!

Candle Perfection!

These candles are amazing! The bookish theme is delightful, and the scents are enchanting. These candles fill the room with intriguing fragrances that inspire and encourage whimsical thoughts and conversations. I highly recommend these candles, including Oxford Library, Headmaster's Office, and The Shire. We cannot wait to place our next order and experience more from Frostbeard Studio.

The Essence of Library Books...

Absolutely smitten with this candle! The scent is a perfect combination of freshness with hues of library books. I spend quite a bit of time in libraries and every book has a scent of someone's home plus their fragrance. This candle captures that very essence. Even my two young sons can't get enough.

Perfect!

I love the smell of leather. It's light, clean and provides the perfect ambiance for reading. This tart does just that. It's not overwhelming, and smells just like leather and parchment. I have been burning it since I got it and the smell is lasting and it's not burning away too quickly. The shipping was lightning fast and it was packaged very well preventing damage. I can't recommend this product or shop enough. Can't wait to buy this scent in a kcandle next. Thanks Frostbeard Studio!

Love!

My house smells amazing. I bought this online without smelling and was so pleased. It also gives off an aroma even when unlit - bonus!

I want to wear this as perfume!

This is my most favorite candle in the history of candles! I stocked up on a variety for Christmas gifts and am placing another order today because I burned 2 of this one already! Best find to date!

Nice Candle

This is a nice attractive, looking candle. The fragrance is pretty weak though.

another wonderful candle from Frostbeard

another wonderful candle from Frostbeard. I have not been disappointed yet with any of my purchases. Oxford Library has a very soothing scent, and the leather scent is the most potent in my candle. I would definitely by this one again.

First order.

I was intrigued by the combination of scents. I find it very pleasant and the scent isn't overpowering. I'm enjoying it very much, and I will certainly order it again.

.A candle to rule them all

I believe this was your 1st candle produced! It was my 1st. purchase but not my last it invites me to explore and find the scent that returns me to the Schenectady, NY library where dad took me on Friday evenings. I sat in the children’s section reading and smelling friendly scented soft old yellowed pages that invited explorations of new horizons while in the comforting warmth of a safe place. .
“Oxford Library” was a little too new smelling. but living in St.Paul puts me in your neighborhood so a retail store visit where I can sniff is in order. I rad daily for an hour and your candles burn like incense, wafting me off to my comforting safe place where my 73 year old soul becomes like a wondrous little boy again!

A Constant Favorite

I have been buying this scent for several years! It truly reminds me of what I’d imagine the Oxford Library smelling like. The leather scent comes through and is very appealing to me.
