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.

We stand by the quality of our products. Read what our customers have to say:
Slightly buttery, yet somehow musty scent. One of my favorites.
Light scent throw.
I love the idea of this one but it is lightly scented once lit, cant really smell it unless its very close to you.
This disappointed me because I was expecting a book loft scent. I didn't get any scent at all. I have to add essential oil to this in order to smell something. I don't recommend this product at all.
So sorry the throw wasn't as strong as you'd like. It is definitely a mild scent, but we appreciate your feedback!
Fragrance is a little off-putting.
