Soy wax develops its fragrance as it cures. Most melts ship pre-cured; fresh batches may benefit from another 1–2 weeks before warming.
The full fragrance story
Fragrance Notes: Aged Leather, Crisp Pages, Notes of Greenery & Oak Woods.
Fragrance Description: Creeeeek, the door opens and antique dust fills the air. A warm leather bound wonderland, not in a kinky way. This aroma was developed using the scientific study of what makes humans simply LOVE the smell of old books. No note was overlooked! Sweet aged pages, a touch of greenery, black and brown leather, a balancing twist of caramel and musk with a touch of potting soil, oak and moss.
How To Use: Gently press on the edges of the bars to split them into their individual cubes. Pull one cube out and pop it in your warmer! One cube is designed to last a week before needing to be replaced.
About Our Melts: Our wax melts are hand poured in Baltimore, Ohio by a small, local team right here at our family run studio & boutique. These melts are made with American made soy wax, and the oils sourced from IFRA perfumists that conform to the strictest standards, both legally and our own, to ensure you’re getting a top-notch product that’s safe, fragrant and worth every penny. Many of our ingredients are sourced right here in Ohio!
Curing Process: Curing is a process that occurs when natural wax and oil are mixed and cooled. The oil needs time to bind to the wax and strengthen, which in turn makes them smell significantly stronger! Curing takes at least 2 weeks post-production, but most wax ships pre-cured! However since many of them are made fresh and sell fast, many customers opt to wait 1-2 weeks before melting a product once they receive it… just in case! Don’t worry, you can still open and sniff in the meantime! For best results and max potential, you can cure for up to 2 months!

Love the antique books smell. It captures a vintage library or an old building. Love it.

Long lasting, room filling
As an librarian I approve!
It smells nice for the right mood
I love this so much i ordered the inscense too
I was hesitant to order anything because I’m so picky about scents, but this is 👌. I don’t know how one goes about describing, let alone capturing, the smell of old books, but this is it. And nothing sweet or floral about it, which is even better.
I love book themed scents, and this one is nice and cozy.
I am a new customer So far I have gotten the Gemini melts fuck anxiety melts and now the bookstore one. I LOVE your products they smell amazing and I love that you give samples as well. I will definitely continue to order and I also love your social justice stance❤️❤️
This one smells like opening an old leather bound book.
Smells like hot plastic. I think it’s the leather aspect of the fragrance. Gave everyone in the house a headache. In future formulations, lessen or leave out the leather note.
Very leathery and soothing <3
Wasn’t sure how I liked the scent on cold, but it smells great while melting!
It smells antique and that is pretty amazing to be able to capture that scent.
Antique Books has a unique smell. Literally like an old book from a musty basement. I can almost imagine the crack of the book spine when I open the bar.
Smells like a bookstore! Love it!
Amelled nice in the warmer
Smells like the research section of an old library, in a very good way! It definitely captures the aged paper scent with the notes of leather in it. Perfect for a bibliophile!!
