Basil, lavender, and thyme combine in Sassenach to create an herbal fragrance that is fresh, grounding, and evocative. It carries the crispness of Scottish hills and gardens, softened with the warmth of timeless historical romances perfect for book lovers and anyone who enjoys a cozy reading corner.
Each clamshell includes six hand-poured soy wax cubes. Simply place one in an electric or tealight wax warmer, and within minutes the fragrance fills your space with a moderate to strong scent throw. Wax melts are a safe, flame-free candle alternative, ideal for apartments, dorms, offices, or classrooms.
Poured by hand in Minneapolis using high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils, these book-scented wax melts offer a clean, consistent aroma that transforms any space into a cozy, literary-inspired retreat. They’re perfect for gifting to fellow historical romance fans or enjoying during a quiet evening with your favorite novel.
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.

I personally love this candle, even though I just realized it smells like Irish Spring soap and can’t I realize that. However, my husband complains that it’s too strong.
Love this scent! It engulfs my whole livingroom and has lasted me quite some time! I can just sit by it and read Outlander and be transported through time. What more could you ask for??
Love this scent, and I usually don’t go for lavender/herbal scents! It’s just like a Scottish apothecary would smell in 1700s Edinburgh! Or perhaps Claire’s herb garden at Lallybroch! It takes you back in time! The candle itself is pretty strong, but i love that. The smell takes over the room even after it is blown out. I recommend this candle to Outlander lovers and forest scent lovers!
This scent reminded me of eucalyptus even though that isn’t one of the notes in it. I did like it but I feel it’s an acquired scent.
This is definitely one of my favorites. Very fresh and woodsy, with a hint of flower and herb.
As a huge Outlander fan, I couldn't resist treating myself to this scent! I'm from the UK and was quite worried about ordering candles without having a good sniff first, but I had faith!! They arrived this morning and I could have cried. The scent is just perfect!! I can't wait for my wax melt burners to be ready for a change now! 5000 stars rating from me!
As a huge Outlander fan, I could resist treating myself to this scent! I'm from the UK and was quite worried about ordering candles without having a good sniff first, but I had faith!! They arrived this morning and I could have cried. The scent is just perfect!! I'm sat working from home with a candle next to me, open and unlit. It smells DIVINE! 5000 stars rating from me!
This candle has a lovely herb garden smell and helps me feel like I’m out outdoors when I’m stuck inside working all day.
I got so excited when it arrived! I had ordered it on a sunday and it came that thursday! I was expecting something slightly bigger than what came for the price, but it's not a huge turn off. The scent is phenomenal, very earthy and foresty. The candle itself has a strong scent and when lit it hangs pleasantly in the air, not overbearing or anything. Currently have it lit whilst I watch Outlander and it's so calming and really helps you immerse yourself into the show. I had been hoping for a more "lavender" flavour than the basil but its still very pleasant. The packaging and label is simply adorable!! Will be ordering again in the future, in a larger size of course!!
I LOVE this candle so much! Three months ago, I ordered 4 candles from Frostbeard, and let me tell you this candle is probably my favorite scent ever for a candle. As a huge outlander lover this is the stuff of dreams and it fits perfectly in my collection. I feel like my entire apartment is Claire's surgery. It smells lovely but never too strong, which is exactly what I look for in a candle! And it doesn't burn too quickly.
A pleasant earthly cocktail.
Scent is nice but it was labeled “strong” and definitely was not strong
My favorite! Love this earthy fresh smell.
My favorite. I have repurchased this earthy forest scent in the bigger size.
The essence of green things: deep, fresh, layered, herbaceous, botanical. Like breathing in clover and mint and moss and rain. Spring scent perfection.
I love this light but earthy scent, reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands! Burns beautifully.
I had high hopes for this candle, and was disappointed. There is very little scent, even when not lit. Maybe my expectations were high, but I don't think so. Oh well!
Such a unique scent! Love botanical candles and this one is perfect.
This candle was so mysterious to me and unique! I would have loved to have a stronger lavender presence. Overall, I am enjoying it! I value the connection to Scotland! One of my favorite places!
This scent is a newly found one for me. I recently purchased it for the second time and will continue to do so. It’s just a lovely scent.
I love this scent! As described (even better!), excellent secure shipping. Would order again, and highly recommend.
I adore the Sassenach scent of basil, lavender, and thyme. Reminds me of a kitchen garden as I walk by and gently stroke the aromatic herbs. Heavenly.
Such a relaxing scent!
This candle has a fresh, earthy scent that just fills the house.
It's wonderful company while working.
I usually avoid lavender products because the scent is too strong. This is nicely balanced for an herby smell. I like it in the kitchen and dining room - very fresh.
The closest I'll ever get to smelling Scottish Highlands from the dusty Maltese Air XD. Just really nice and relaxing when not needing to run out.
