  • Scents: Aged Paper, Dust, Vanilla
  • Scent Throw: Mild

We love the smell of old books! But not the rotten, mildewy kind – the sweet, papery sort. If you’re like us, then you’ll love our candle that smells just like those old books. This soft, comforting book-scented candle makes you want to curl up in your favorite reading chair and leaf through stacks of worn, well-loved stories. Vanilla overtones transform into a lovely, complex aroma when melted.

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.

On cold sniff, I’m not certain I love this one. It oddly smells of peanut butter, to me. I will melt it, and perhaps I will love it. I still love the idea of these wonderful scents!!!! So much fun!
