Reading Candles
A reading candle is a candle chosen to shape the mood of reading: gentle enough for focus, atmospheric enough to make a room feel special, and always used safely away from books and paper.
Reading candle recommendations
What to look for
Scent intensity
For reading, many customers prefer scents that feel present but not distracting. Warm woods, soft amber and gentle fresh notes are usually easier to live with for longer sessions.
Room size
Use smaller candles for desks, bedrooms and reading corners. Choose deeper candle or diffuser moods for sitting rooms and larger spaces.
Safety
Keep candles on a stable heat-resistant surface, away from books, shelves, curtains and loose paper. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
