Scents: Aged Paper, Dust, Vanilla

Scent Throw: Mild

There’s nothing like opening a beloved book and enjoying the comforting aroma of its pages. Old Books brings that joy to your home with a soft, cozy blend of aged paper, warm wood, and vanilla.

This 8oz soy candle in a recycled glass jar has a mild scent throw that is perfect for filling a small room with the subtle charm of a library or bookshop. It’s ideal for reading nooks, home libraries, or thoughtful literary gifts.

Hand-poured in Minneapolis by our family-owned business, this candle was the one that started it all, helping Frostbeard grow after being featured in Buzzfeed’s Christmas gift guide in 2013. Burns cleanly for around 40 hours, making it a classic favorite among book lovers.

I love Old Books!

I really do love old books. When I first found Frostbeard, this was my first purchase, and it didn't disappoint. It smells like snuggling up on a cozy chair in a time-worn and loved personal library. I try to never be without this candle!

not my cup of tea

I'm not a fan of this candle. I love the scent of old paper, but it isn't present in this product. However, the quality is excellent. I wouldn't buy this again.

Won’t buy again

This candle had no fragrance at all. I won’t be making another purchase with my hard earned dollars

The 2oz tin is meant to be more of a sampler, and won’t have the same scent throw as a larger candle size. Sorry if that wasn’t clear from the description. We use the recommended amount of fragrance oil in our candles, and due to the nature of soy wax they may have a milder scent compared to other wax types.

Not sure what I was expecting with Old Books, but the aroma of "aged paper, dust, and vanilla" just doesn't do anything for me. The scent is very light such that I had to put my nose very close to the flame to get a good whiff. A little disappointing, this one.

Used Bookstore

Smells like most used book stores I have been to.
