I adore Cantrip Candles, and Library Scriptorium is one of my favorites. (My others are Dungeon Depths, Forest of Fae, and Stonemoss Chapel, if you want an idea of what I personally love.) This candle smells exactly like you think it will, but ten times better. Each note in the scent is easily detectable. Cantrip Candles have softer wax than other brands of scented candles I’ve used, I think because they are heavily scented. (This helps me “garden” them so they don’t tunnel and last longer.) However, they don’t burn down any faster than other brands. The scents are not overpowering, though one small candle will transform the ambiance of a whole room. I don’t play tabletop games, so I love to choose a Cantrip Candle to match the themes and environs of whatever video game I’m playing to make the experience even more immersive. Think More’s akademia in Metaphor: ReFantazio or a mage’s guild in Oblivion. Cozy, magical, inspiring.

These are very well made and the scents are wonderful!

These candles are just plain awesome. Try a few out!

I love books and being in libraries. This candle reminds me of them, and it surprises and delights me every time I light it.

Purchased at Level One game shop on a visit to KC and I was SO impressed by this scent that I immediately came here to purchase some wax melts and a sample pack. This candle is an experience. To me, it smells like a mix of book pages, leather spines, and an almost cardamom-like spice (very subtle). There's an airiness/dryness to it that also keeps it smelling more fresh than I would expect. If you want your surroundings to smell like an old European library, this is the one for you. I rarely find candles I love this much, and I'm excited to keep repurchasing this one for my candle rotation.
