Old Books

This smell reminds me of being in an old bookstore - something like the bookstore in A Neverending Story where books are safe. I adore the smell and definitely think it has a mild scent, but wouldn't hurt if it were a little stronger.

I'm not sure if it's old books but it is a pleasant candle for my morning coffee .

Smells very much; not sure if its old books, but it's an interestingly refreshing smell!

I'm trying not to be repulsed by the scent, because I love Frostbeard and the smell of old books. But this does not smell like old books. The cold throw provoked a sense of disgust, but I thought lighting it might reveal something that could explain why some people love this candle. Not so. Maybe this is the cilantro of candles: some people love it, and some people find it disgusting.

Some have mentioned smelling cucumber, others vanilla, other mold. Combine those three and you are probably on the right track.

And it is NOT as subtle as others have remarked. Once lit, the candle's scent pervades the space. You have to really, REALLY want to smell this scent to light this candle--no escaping the odor once it's lit.

I had to try this one out of curiosity. I don't think I would've gotten "old books" from the scent without seeing the name, but it's a subtle and pleasant scent nevertheless.
