Soft jasmine drifts through the air, chamomile brings gentle calm, and sandalwood adds warmth and depth. Bedtime Stories is a fragrance designed for evenings when you want to slow down, breathe deeply, and create the perfect atmosphere for rest.
Our 8oz jar is the classic size for long, quiet nights. With a moderate throw, it fills your room with a soothing blend that is strong enough to notice but never overwhelming. Burn time lasts 40 to 50 hours, making it a lovely companion for countless evenings of reading and unwinding.
We hand-pour every candle with soy wax and a cotton wick for a clean, steady flame. Packaged in a recycled glass jar, it is both eco-friendly and inviting. Light Bedtime Stories when you want to transform your bedroom into a sanctuary, a cozy place where fairy tales, novels, and poetry meet the comfort of soft quilts and a good night’s sleep.

More jasmine than sandalwood with a mild throw.
Beautifully scented! Delivered quickly! Love it!
I love ALL of Frostbeard's scents. Their wax melts are perfect for my home office. The scent lasts a long time and the combinations are amazing.
This one is a little too floral for me. I know I don't like florals, but I keep trying them!
I like to journal before bed with this one. So soothing and relaxing and yet it also has an air of mystery. Really enjoy!
I love lighting this candle to help wind-down after a long day. It’s especially nice to have while reading in bed or on the couch with a cup of tea!
I burn this candle if I need a self-care evening to calm anxiety. The scents are warm and comforting and linger after I blow it out, so I can fall asleep still smelling it. So glad they added it to the permanent collection!
Doesn't put me in mind of bedtime stories, but would be a great scent to accompany a relaxing afternoon.
Bedtime Stories has a gentle, calming scent that invokes memories of when my now-grown daughters were little ones on my lap enjoying sweet picture books. My nose noticed a slight hint of Vick's Baby Rub (menthol, eucalyptus, rosemary). Delightful.
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 :)
This is a perfect bedtime candle because the scent is soft and comforting. So glad this has been added to the permanent collection!
Subtle and comforting scent. Wonderful to rest at night with.
I really like this scent (and it's a perfect scent combination for bedtime), but for me personally, I wish the throw was a lot stronger.
Absolutely loved this scent, like most of them! Thank you Frostbeard for your outstanding candles! :)
I like the fragrance but this scent strength is really light--almost a little too light. It shouldn't be listed as "medium" strength.
If you love the Rainy Day Reads candle, or just generally love treating yourself to a wonderful relaxing candle at bedtime, this candle is for you! It is so nice to read in bed with this candle burning. The sandalwood element, similar to Oxford Library, makes it even more delicious. I cannot say enough good things about this candle.
The scent is not as strong as I generally like (hence the four stars), but it's really lovely! Very relaxing.
This is a calm, light scent. I paired it with Suds and Stories for a super relaxing bubble bath before bed!
Exactly as described. Very soothing.
I love this candle!! It's soothing and calming and is perfect for lighting at night before going to bed. Yes, the candle strength is on the mild side but having it close by fills the immediate area with that perfect scent combination.
Love the smell of this candle! It's so relaxing and soothing, I am so glad they brought this one back so I could re-up my supply. I love to light it when it's raining and I'm reading in my cozy chair.
When it's getting around the time I need to wind down, I've been burning this candle in my room and letting the scent permeate. It's such a great smell, not overpowering at all. I make sure to blow it out before I get under the covers though! Great addition and I can see it being a welcome addition to a relaxing bath if you have the opportunity or self spa day.
The scent is a light one, but you can definitely sense the calm when it's burning. Great to light after cleaning the bedroom and leaving the windows open all day.
This was one of the smaller tins I purchased with my first order and now I regret not getting a bigger candle since it is no longer available. It is perfect to light during my bedtime reading. And yes, I did vote to “bring it back”. One of my favorite scents so far.
I wish this candle was a permanent scent, it is lovely. A nice floral scent, it is a bit mild, but that makes it a perfect aromatherapy candle. Light this up after a stressful day for a nice calming atmosphere or whenever you want to just unwind.
I am enjoying this candle when relaxing and reading in the evening. Fresh scent. Will order more when it is brought back!
When smelling the candle before I lit it I was worried that the sandalwood would be overpowering. Thankfully when I lit the candle that wasn't an issue. Yes it's the dominant scent but the jasmine and chamomile come through and I liked it more than I thought I would initially.
Extremely soothing scent. Good throw yet light.
A very soft, fresh scent. Reminds me of spring.
Very clean/fresh scent, wish I had bought more of these candle.
The name of this scent is spot on. It reminds me of baby bath or baby lotion. Very calming.
If you love Rainy Day Reads, you will probably love this candle. It’s similar, with the same light floral notes, but this one is a bit more floral with undertones of musky sandalwood instead of spicy ginger. I still love Rainy Day Reads more, but this is a close second.
