What is the smell of old books called?
The smell of old books is often called bibliosmia. It's the result of volatile organic compounds breaking down in aging paper and ink—releasing scents reminiscent of vanilla, almond, and the earthy must of time itself.

I ordered Rose Peony and am back to try Worn Leather. I loved how this candle bunred and smelled! It burns slowly and evenly, and fills the room with subtle fragrance. Highly recommend!
This is the perfect cozy scent for your home. The wood wick brings a nice soft glow. I can’t stop burning this candle. I am on my 3rd candle already and will definitely be buying more.
Travis of Mourning Light is an absolute gem of a human being and a wonderful artist. I purchased both Apothecary and Vanilla Tobacco, and he made the whole process super easy. Not only that but both candles smell fantastic and have them going on most of the day. Will purchase again!
It would be enough to say that the candle itself smells fantastic but what makes this product stand out so much is the extra attention to detail. The tourmaline included in and around the candle is a lovely touch as well as the personal thank you for purchasing on tea-stained paper which matches the candle's aesthetic. Highly recommended!
