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.

Where’s the smell???

I got three candles from Frostbeard: Old Books, Bookstore and Reading at the Cafe. All THREE have NO SMELL, even after being burnt for several hours. No room permeation. You can barely even smell the candles up close, lit or unlit. For how much these cost, I expected more. These are literally the most disappointing candles I’ve ever purchased. Ever. Hands down. Beyond disappointing. Spend your money elsewhere.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry you were unhappy with the items. We do offer returns and exchanges so please feel free to email us at help@frostbeardstudio.com with questions and concerns. We use the recommended amount of fragrance oil for 100% soy wax, and do have Old Books marked as a 'mild' fragrance, but it should be give off some aroma so we'd be happy to provide some tips to help.

I'm warming to this one

First time around I thought this didn't smell old enough. Now it's growing on me. I tend towards Frostbeard's musty dusty scents like book cellar and old forest, so had expected that to come through here. Didn't on the first batch I received a while back but this one seems closer to the mark.
