The Reading Room — Black Tea & Tobacco Leaf Candle

The Reading Room opens with bergamot, black tea, and cardamom before aged paper, tobacco leaf, and leather settle into cedar, amber, and soft musk. It begins with the dry warmth of tea beside an old book, then paper, tobacco, and leather deepen the atmosphere before cedar and amber leave a quiet library-after-dark finish.

How It Smells in the Room

The first impression is black tea with bergamot and warm cardamom. As the candle warms, aged paper, tobacco leaf, and leather make the room feel quieter, darker, and more intimate. Cedar, amber, and musk settle underneath, leaving offices, dens, libraries, and living rooms cozy, intellectual, and sophisticated.

Scent Strength & Throw

Noticeable fragrance presence with a dry, atmospheric tea-and-wood character. Bergamot, black tea, and cardamom lead first, then aged paper, tobacco leaf, and leather deepen the room as the melt pool develops while cedar, amber, and soft musk smooth the finish. Noir 10 oz is well suited to offices, reading nooks, dens, and medium-size living spaces, while Noir 14 oz gives the library-inspired profile greater reach in larger rooms.

Ideal For

Best for readers, writers, and shoppers who prefer dry, atmospheric fragrance over sweetness, especially those drawn to black tea, aged paper, tobacco leaf, leather, cedar, amber, and the mood of a quiet library.

Gifting & Occasion

The Reading Room is especially fitting for birthdays, Father’s Day, housewarmings, writer or reader gifts, office and library gifts, fall and winter occasions, and anyone who loves bookish interiors and refined tea-and-wood fragrance.

Care & Safety

Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Trim cotton wicks to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn; keep wooden wicks properly trimmed according to their burn behavior. Allow an even melt pool to develop and burn no longer than four hours at a time. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable materials, and discontinue use when about 1/2 inch of wax remains.

Ingredients & Standards

Coconut-soy and beeswax blend with phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrance oils. Cotton wicks are lead-free; wooden wicks are untreated natural wood with no coating, chemical treatment, or ignition accelerant. No added synthetic dyes, UV inhibitors, or hardeners. Not vegan because the wax blend contains beeswax.
