Complex

I bought the tester & found it had a strong, complex scent. It took a while before I got the sea spray, which was lovely, but the champagne scent came off as a bit soapy to me. Otherwise, it has a nice freshness about it.

Perfectly Pensive

I was concerned that Watson's Journal would have a strong cologne scent, but that isn't the case. It's a truly pleasing blend of tea and vanilla, with a hint of paper. It's a new favourite, but I do wish it had a stronger throw.

Cosy & Bright

At first, the ginger was the stronger scent. But after a couple burnings, the scent balanced and it's very pleasing. Fresh and uplifting.

Just the Early Scent I was looking for

I bought several different scents to sample and I already can't move past this one because I love it so much. It reminds me of a light nag champra. The scent emitted from the wax melts is nice, but it is not as strong as the more commercially available products. I will definitely buy again.

Very Nice

Old books. Old wood. A fire in the hearth. I love the scent, but for the cost of the candle lighting it will be a rare treat.

Wonderful spring addition

I wasn’t expecting to like this candle too much but it is amazing. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford another one right now, but I would definitely pick up another if I could. It’s a very clean smell but a different kind of clean than rainy day reads or your typical clean linen smell. The “mountain breeze” note was captured very well in this candle, and I’ve really enjoyed burning it recently. I will say that it is more on the mild side but the smell still settles in a room quite nicely

Another Magnifi-scent!

Once again Frostbeard drops a candle for my birthday month that is absolute perfection. The mountain breeze, lily, and zest blend into a candle that reminds me of my favorite jelly candle from bath and body works as a kid. It smells like my favorite part of Rocky Mountain National Park in spring time.

This candle is going in my top 3 with Lucky Elixir and Magnolia Street Magic.

So far so good! Unpackaged the carefully wrapped and placed items and gave them a sniff each. They smelled spot on and were that “scent” that takes you back. Early this morning I dropped a couple of wax cubes in my melter and lit the bookstore candle, both in our small den; our favorite room for comfort and solitude…..very few books I might add. I brewed my first cup of coffee and walked back in and there was my favorite scent permiating the room. It just simply smells like its name, Bookstore! Im very well please from such a small candle as there is nothing mistakable about the scent as it almost instantly fragranced the room with that one of a kind old fashioned scent. Thank you Frostbeard Studio! I hope the other 2 are as pleasing. I will review as used.

So satisfyingly yummy smelling!

Very rich, accurate scent of coffee and chocolate. Makes me hungry, but I love it.

LOVE this one, wish it was in the permanent collection!

This scent, for me, comes second only to the Bookstore scent. It is warm, comforting, cozy and homey. I love the hazelnut and wood-smoke combination, such a lovely candle, I am eagerly awaiting it's return

Throw gone!

Maybe they’re using a different factory or make up, but these candles don’t have the throw they used to. Cant even smell it when walking into the room. :(

Sorry you're having a hard time smelling the candle! The 2oz tins are intended as a tester size - we recommend the 8oz size if you're after a larger scent throw. Our recipe is the same and they're still handpoured in small batches at our studio, so that hasn't changed :)

Where did the throw go?

Used to order these candles and LOVED THEM. First time in a while and now they don’t have any throw. Disappointing!

Sorry the scent strength isn't what you were expecting! The 2oz tins won't be as strong as the other sizes, and Bedtime Stories is on the milder side, so I've emailed you with some possible solutions. Hope you're able to find a scent you love :)

No throw

These candles used to be GREAT! Unique fragrances, great throw. This is the first time I’ve bought in about a year and there is no throw anymore. :( Not sure what happened but not worth the money now.

So sorry the throw isn't as strong as you'd like! We haven't changed anything in the recipes or how we make the candles, so I've emailed you with some possible solutions. Thanks for your feedback and previous support.

My favorite

This is the candle that lives up to what I think these bookish titles should be. It’s my second one and I will stick with it. I wish for more that have a similar scent throw but afraid to be disappointed as I was with a different one in this order.

This is the perfect scent for anne of green gables lovers. It's so sweet and light. The berry scent is strong. I like to burn it with the windows open and the breeze wafting in.

lilac and woods

Super unique scent that I wasn't sure I would like but I did! The lilac is very fragrant and strong. This is another lovely seasonal scent.

As alluring as Gatsby's green light

I really love how light and sparkling this scent is. It has hints of the ocean but it's truly an invigorating fresh scent. I loved this one.

Perfect Spring/Summer scent

This is one of my favorite frostbeard candles. It's light but still gives off an earthy scent. It smells as if you're wandering through a forest.

Ren Faire meets Incense

If you miss your local renaissance faire, this is the candle for you. The color is BEAUTIFUL. I bought one for my best friend.

Oh my God, it’s perfect

I loved it. It’s a perfect mix of scents. There’s just the right kick of vanilla and black tea. You can absolutely picture Watson at his desk, writing furiously into the night.

Oxford Library
Cara P. (Conroe, TX)

The Oxford Library candle is one I've ordered regularly for years. I first bought it to give as a gift to a friend who had just gotten her Masters in Library Science, but when I smelled it I knew I needed one for myself. I use it in my workspace and my reading nook. It has a nice clean and crisp smell that can easily fill a standard sized room.

Great Incense candle

Mostly pick up the champa scent and the hint of amber and almond is hard to pick up to me but it adds something and makes it more unique then just a normal champa scent.

Great black tea/parchment scent

The mix of the black tea and parchment scent is different and a winner..don't know how they keep coming up with these great blends consistently. Will add this to the "must have" list from Frostbeard
