Scent Story:
The creation of this book-scented candle all began when our founder wanted to create a candle that smells like the books of her dreams, one the type that would be found in her dream library.
"Creating candles that smells like old books is hard, everyone has their take on it.
- Is it an antique book candle?
- Is it simply candles inspired by books in the general sense?
- Or is it the generic old book smell candle that everyone associates with when getting a book candle scent?
I knew mine had to be different to reflect on me as not just a reader but a lover of book-themed candles. I have smelled many literature candles, from the new book smell candle to the old book candle scent and I wanted something complex, unique and most definitely woodsy. I began experimenting with different fragrance combinations for months trying to find that perfect book lover's soy candle formulation. Until one night I was sitting down at my desk journaling and began daydreaming of my perfect reading setting.
It came to me then, an enchanted library filled with 5-star leather-bound books on elegant cedar wood bookshelves and a desk with sweet cardamom tea wafting in the air. Ironically I was drinking some cardamom tea when this actualization came to be. I turned my formulas towards this new insight and quickly found myself with a dark alluring enchanting scent that leans toward a dark candle aesthetic that I found quite pleasing and thus our Dark Academia candle was born."
