Tomewick
Three Tomewick Bookshop candles in amber jars on an old book, one of them lit
Tomewick · Candles for readers

Light the wick. Open the book. Anything is possible.

Bookshop is a hand-poured soy candle that smells like an old bookshop: worn leather, earthy patchouli and warm amber.

The quiet hour

Made for the moment a story begins

Every reader knows that moment. The house goes quiet, the lamp glows low and the first page turns. Bookshop was made for it.

Light it and the room fills with the smell of leather bindings, tall shelves and slow afternoons among old books. Settle into your chair and let the story take you anywhere: a castle in the mountains, a ship at sea, a library nobody has opened in a hundred years.

A good scent doesn't tell you what to imagine. It just makes room for it.

Scent notes

Three notes, one old bookshop

Warm, deep and a little mysterious. A scent for long evenings and good books.

i.

Leather

Worn book bindings and a well-loved reading chair.

ii.

Patchouli

Earthy and dark, like the back room where the oldest books are kept.

iii.

Amber

Soft, golden warmth, like lamplight falling on the page.

The candle

Bookshop

Poured by hand in small batches, in an amber glass jar with a gold lid. Beautiful on a bookshelf, and a lovely gift for anyone who always has a book on the go.

Candle care

For a clean, even burn

  1. Take your time with the first burn. Let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the jar. This stops the candle tunnelling and gives you the full scent.
  2. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every burn, for a calm, steady flame.
  3. Burn for no more than 4 hours at a time, and stop when about 1 cm of wax is left.
  4. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from children, pets, draughts and anything that can catch fire.
