Experience the charm of your favorite indie bookstore café without lighting a flame with Bookstore wax melts. Each cube fills your home with the warm, inviting scents of mahogany, leather-bound books, and fresh coffee, perfect for readers, bibliophiles, and anyone who loves the cozy atmosphere of a bookshop.
Designed for use in electric or tealight wax warmers, these book-scented wax melts offer a moderate scent throw that can even rival our 8oz candle. They’re ideal for apartments, offices, classrooms, or any space where you want to enjoy the comforting aroma of books, wood, and coffee safely and flame-free.
Made with high-quality, eco-friendly soy wax, these melts are a thoughtful, sustainable way to bring a literary home fragrance into your space. They’re a perfect book lover gift, or a cozy way to enjoy your favorite bookstore scents while reading, relaxing, or working from home.
Each item is poured by hand at our Minneapolis shop.
Wax melts are an easy and flame-free way to fill your space with cozy fragrance. To use, simply place one or two wax cubes into the dish of a wax warmer. Turn the warmer on (if electric) or light a tealight underneath (if using a classic ceramic warmer) and allow the wax to melt. As it melts, it will release its scent into the room.
You can enjoy the fragrance for several hours at a time! Just turn off the warmer when you're done, and the wax will solidify, ready for next time.
When the scent has faded, let the wax cool and harden completely, then remove it from the dish. You can pop it out using a spoon or paper towel, or warm it just enough to pour out the liquid. Dispose of the used wax and wipe the warmer clean before adding a fresh cube. Never add water to your warmer, and always follow the safety instructions that come with your device.

To me this smells exactly like the inside of a Dunkin Donuts.
This might be one of my favorite scents! I love anything with coffee, but the leather and coffee together? The best. It's pretty strong but not overwhelming. It really does feel like you're in a bookstore.
My favorite scent. I burn this candle daily. I adore it. It gives cozy vibes without being overwhelming.
This is such a comforting scent to me. It smells *exactly* like my favourite bookstore that I used to go to every weekend with my mom when I was a kid. The throw is great (at least for the 4 & 8 oz sizes), and it is a clean, light scent perfect for any time of year.
Candles are heavy and fragile, but we're great at packaging them up safely. If any item breaks in the mail, we'll replace it for free.
