The Antique Bookshop - Dusty Tomes & Aged Pages

Like stepping into an old cosy, book-filled shop, The Antique Bookshop candle fills the air with the scent of parchment and leather-bound volumes. 

At the heart, a faint floral blend of Baies rose, incense, and dry black pepper drifts like the scent of flowers pressed between book pages. Base notes of cedarwoood, sandalwood, and amber take you firmly to the polished wooden bookshelves and timeless leather chairs, while the richness of musk, vetiver and patchouli add age and depth. Soft scents of moss and vanilla settle in the air, like the comforting quiet of the bookshop, inviting you to stay longer.

'There was something about the smell of bookshops that was strangely comforting to her. She wondered if it was the scent of ink and paper, or the perfume of the binding, string, and glue. Maybe it was the scent of knowledge. Information. Thoughts and ideas. Poetry and love. All of it bound into one calm place.' 

-Alyson Richman, 'The Garden of Letters', 2014.

This scent is warm and grounding, with a rich, intoxicating complexity that is calming and soothing. The dry, dusty notes of parchment and aged spice, combined with the woody and leathery base, create a sense of comfort and nostalgia, while the floral and spice elements add subtle depth and intrigue. Its a scent that feels both comforting and sophisticated, perfect for creating a relaxing, reflective atmosphere.
