Love It!

I love the smell of this candle so much! It reminds me of other candles that I have got in the past. It smells like vanilla and warm reading sessions. I recommend this a lot!

This one isn't my favorite, but it is what's on the tin! The leather and oldness really come through, and it's definitely one of the most unique scents I've tried. As another reviewer said, I can't take off any stars for personal preference because it's perfectly advertised and does indeed smell like a room full of old, leather-bound, dusty books!

It really does smell like an old bookstore. Bought as a gift to recreate an experience being missed during the pandemic - recipient was delighted. Communication with the shop owner was great.

I'm actually not a huge fan of this one but I can't take off any stars because the product is exactly as described! The scent is exactly what is on the label and in the description so I really can't complain.

This scent is the definition of Antique Books. The leather scent is amazing.

Literally smelled this and went “wow” ........ “that is spot on”. I’d never be able to describe the smell but this candle is it
