There’s nothing like opening a beloved book and enjoying the comforting aroma of its pages. Old Books brings that joy to your home with a soft, cozy blend of aged paper, warm wood, and vanilla.
This 8oz soy candle in a recycled glass jar has a mild scent throw that is perfect for filling a small room with the subtle charm of a library or bookshop. It’s ideal for reading nooks, home libraries, or thoughtful literary gifts.
Hand-poured in Minneapolis by our family-owned business, this candle was the one that started it all, helping Frostbeard grow after being featured in Buzzfeed’s Christmas gift guide in 2013. Burns cleanly for around 40 hours, making it a classic favorite among book lovers.

We stand by the quality of our products. Read what our customers have to say:
This disappointed me because I was expecting a book loft scent. I didn't get any scent at all. I have to add essential oil to this in order to smell something. I don't recommend this product at all.
So sorry the throw wasn't as strong as you'd like. It is definitely a mild scent, but we appreciate your feedback!
Fragrance is a little off-putting.
Sorry the scent wasn't what you expected, we know ordering scented items online can be tricky. We do offer returns and exchanges-please feel free to reach out to our help account with any questions!
Old Books is the perfect candle for me! I am a librarian and it smells like a library! I also like the fact that it is a slow-burning candle and burns evenly.
This one is my favorite. It smells like a very light sweet perfume with a hint of vanilla. An interesting mix.
This one has a light scent to it and reminds me of spring time sitting outside with an old book. It definitely is not overpowering with the scent. It’s very mild and happy like buttercups, dandelions and vanilla
Candles are heavy and fragile, but we're great at packaging them up safely. If any item breaks in the mail, we'll replace it for free.
