The Reading Room-Signature Scent- Opulent Florals, Wood Resins and Litsea Cubeba

Welcome to our Signature Scent...

'There are quite a number of people in the reading-room; but one is not aware of them. They are inside the books. They move, sometimes, within the pages like sleepers turning over between two dreams. Ah, how good it is to be among people who are reading.'

Rainer Maria Rilke

A labour of love, this pure vegan-friendly soy wax candle, has been scented with carefully selected fragrance oils to embody the ethos, inspiration and heart of The Reading Room Candle Company.

This signature scent has been chosen for its ability to challenge, evoke, inspire and intoxicate, just like our most beloved of books.

Opening on precious wood resins that permeate the fragrance, they gracefully wrap around fresh citrus top notes of bergamot, lemon, orange and litsea cubeba. The heart is an opulent floral blend of rose, jasmine, geranium and neroli, before darkening into a spicy herbaceous backdrop of armoise, pine, eucalyptus and clove. At the base, rich earthy notes of guaiacwood, cedarwood, cypress, patchouli and musk complete this complex and extraordinary scent.

A fragrance journey like no other, The Reading Room releases a rich, luxurious scent to entice and beguile, elevating your reading experience.

These are poured in beautiful reusable glass jars, and finished with a wooden lid, this candle will not only look beautiful in situ in your home.

The highly scented wax will quickly fill a room with fragrance that will linger long after the candle has been extinguished.   

This candle has been poured with 300ml of pure soy wax and will burn for approx 45-55 hours.
