September 2019 Box
(Magical School)

This box includes Back to Wizard School - one of the best candles Frostbeard has ever made! The scent is treacle tart and brandied pear and it smells delicious! I love burning it any time of day, year-round. The lemon drops were fantastic and the socks by Out of Print are beautiful and well made. The pencils and sticker are adorable. The only item that was a miss for me was the bookmark. (I'm not sure what kind of book can use a thick, wooden bookmark, without damaging the book's spine.) Overall, this box was excellent and I hope that, post-pandemic, Frostbeard will consider bringing the boxes back. (Reviews of fragrances are highly subjective and whether or not you'll like a particular fragrance is personal, so, for reference, my favorite Frostbeard candles are: Wizardy Buttery Drink, Back to Wizard School, The Wall, Through the Wardrobe, The Inklings, and Snow Maiden. My least favorite candles are: Oxford Library, Book Cellar, Gatsby's Mansion, Christmas in the Great Hall, Bah Humbug, Spooky Stories, and Old Books.)

Deep, Dark Woods smells earthy and a little soapy. More like a damp forest floor plus soap. I burn it occasionally. The Little Briar-Rose incense cones smell good and have the same scent profile (cedar/rose/vetiver) as the new Frostbeard candle with the same name. The Frostbeard-themed wooden candle coaster is so beautiful that I display mine on its own, without anything sitting on it. Delicious ginger cookies, an enchanting notebook, temporary tattoos, and soap round out this delightful box.

I ordered this box solely to get the Darcy's Parlour candle and the candle trimmer. I've used the candle trimmer every time I burn a candle in my home. It's exquisitely well-made! The Darcy's Parlour candle is sure to be a hit with anyone who loves Sherlock's Study, though Darcy's Parlour is slightly more refined and a little less strong fragrance-wise than Sherlock's Study. The Pride and Peppermint tea has cute packaging, but was fairly bland. The bookmark, card, and cookie cutters are adorable, but, again, it's the Frostbeard products in this box that stole the show.

This was my first lit box from Frostbeard and it was fantastic! Darcy's Parlour is by far my favorite candle to date, the wick trimmer is super useful and I gifted the tea and bookmarks to a friend who was super delighted to have tea named after her favorite Jane Austen novel!

This box is a delight. Enjoyed the tea and candle. The print is hung up in my library and can’t wait to make cookies using the cookie cutters that were included. Worth it and will consider other boxes.
