This candle creates that quiet, transportive hush you only ever notice in a very old library. Long cedar tables worn smooth by generations of elbows and ideas. Shelves lined with volumes that feel reassuringly full of things worth knowing.Light it and the flame flickers gently, releasing a crisp lift of lemon peel and bergamot. Like sunlight slipping through tall mullioned windows, catching dust as it drifts lazily in the air. It sounds dramatic. It is in fact simply beautiful, like petals trailing behind a punt on the Cam if you’re feeling poetic.As the soy wax softens, time does that pleasant elastic thing it does when you are fully absorbed. Warmth builds slowly, almost imperceptibly, like skin beneath glass. The fragrance deepens into paper and leather, threaded with a soft resinous hum of balsams and benzoin. Rich. Smooth. Faintly addictive.Deeply comforting without ever trying too hard. The sort of candle you light once and then somehow find yourself returning to again and again.Two wicks burn side by side, their light shifting as the fragrance settles into the room. It feels decadent. It feels rich. It feels like a quiet kind of enlightenment.An ancient library, conjured at the strike of a match. Handmade in our micro perfumery in Norfolk. 100% Soy wax. Vegan. Never tested on animals. Double Wick. Approximately 50hours. Also available as an Eau De Parfum.
