The Best Literary Candles for Book Lovers

If you’re the kind of reader who loves to set the mood while you read, a literary candle might be your perfect match. Our amber jar candles are hand-poured in the UK using natural soy wax, inspired by iconic locations in classic literature. They’re vegan, long-lasting, and bookishly atmospheric.

Whether you're buying a thoughtful gift or treating yourself to something cosy, here are five of our favourite scents.

Green Gables – Sweet Pumpkin & Spice

Inspired by L. M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, this warm blend of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, and ginger smells like a nostalgic autumn afternoon. A great choice for anyone who loves cosy classics and cups of tea.

Pemberley – Pear, Patchouli & Rose

Regal and romantic, this candle nods to Pride and Prejudice with English pear, rose, patchouli, and bergamot. A beautiful pick for fans of Jane Austen or anyone who likes their reading scented with a touch of refinement.

Wonderland – Grapefruit, Peach & Blonde Woods

Bright, joyful, and a little surreal — just like Alice in Wonderland. With notes of grapefruit, peach, coconut, and white florals, this one’s perfect for dreamers, daydreamers, and anyone who loves a bit of magic.

Thornfield Hall – Rosewood, Musk & Velvet Moss

Moody and atmospheric, this candle captures the gothic charm of Jane Eyre. It combines rosewood and musk with amber and soft moss — ideal for reading by candlelight on rainy days.

The Shire – Floral Burst & Powdered Sugar

Soft, sweet, and filled with whimsy, this scent channels the charm of The Hobbit. With rose petals, raspberry, and a hint of powdered sugar, it’s the kind of candle that makes a room feel safe and homely.
