For all of the bibliophiles in our lives Paddywax presents the Library Collection. Pairing favorite quotes with exquisite fragrances, we pay homage to the literary greats. Impeccably packaged in a gift box adorned with author photo, bio and copper foil stamped labels, this is the ideal gift for lovers of fine literature. Every candle fragrance is a blend of custom notes designed to evoke the spirit of author for which it is named. The process of making Paddywax candles is artisan in every sense, closely resembling techniques used to make candles hundreds of years ago. From fragrance throw to burn time, each custom recipe is made to deliver the best experience. Our fragrance blends are developed to distribute the most natural aroma through the use of all natural ingredients. We take pride in never offering a synthetic fragrance; instead we constantly push ourselves to create something natural and unique. It begins when every candle is hand poured and ends when each product is packaged with precision. Each bow and label are applied by hand to give every product that human touch that is worthy of gift giving. We take pride in our work and know that every detail counts. Here at Paddywax we believe what is truly beautiful in life lies in the details and that is why we love what we do so much. We hope you too fall in love with Paddywax.
The Paddywax Library Collection pairs exquisite fragrance with a quote from a literary great; I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year – Charles Dickens

REVISED REVIEW
UPDATE TO ORIGINAL REVIEW: After not burning this candle since initially receiving it, I decided to try it again. I LOVE it now! I don’t know if it’s because I let it sit out for a couple of weeks or what, but I don’t find the scent the least bit overwhelming anymore. It’s fragrant, but not overly so. Again, I love the concept of this candle and think it would make a great gift for an avid reader, as it comes in a giftable box. Once this candle is done, I will most likely try another scent.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I love the concept of this candle, but found the scent much too strong for my liking.

Nice and Unique Candles
I have bought these nice Paddywax Library candles as gifts for my friends and for myself. The candles I have bought for my female friends were the Jane Austen candles. The Jane Austen candle scent is pleasant and light with its combination of gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine. I can just imagine strolling through Jane Austen’s English garden right now! I like how Paddywax added the Jane Austen quote, “There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort” on both the candle and library card file candle box. This Jane Austen candle would make the perfect gift for Jane Austen fans, those who love gardens, and those who simply love to read books. I also have the Edgar Allan Poe candle with its fragrant combination of cardamom, absynth, and sandalwood. It has a stronger scent than the Jane Austen candle, but it’s unique in scent as well. The quote on the library box and candle for Mr. Poe is: “All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream”. These are soy wax candles that burn a maximum of 60 hours. If you are stumped on trying to find a small gift for somebody you know, want to give a housewarming gift for an individual, or want to have an extra gift handy for additional company visiting you during the holidays, I would recommend these Paddywax Library candles. The candles are unique and add a little extra inspiration to any room!

Wonderful fragrance.
You canât go wrong with a Paddywax candle â their fragrances, burn and unique vessels. This is one of my favorite fragrances but I purchased it for a friend who is a Poe fan. Only thing is itâs pricey. HomeGoods often has select number of various Paddywax candles at a fraction of the cost.

We love this scent
I looked all over to get a scent that was the right vibe we were going for in our room. We settled on this and love it. It has very attractive packaging and container for the candle. Smells great.

Love these vanfles
These candles are simply wonderful. The Charles Dickens is Christmas in a candle! Iâve bought it twice now! Only downside is cost, and sadly they burn fast. Short lived, but the scent will take you back in time.

Smells incredible, clever packaging
I bought this for a friend almost exclusively because of the Jane Austen quote. She is not only a superfan of the author but loves candles and home decor, most notably those special edition releases of old classics with retro chic covers (purchased separately at Anthropologie, although I believe they are also available online). I thought this would be the perfect complement, barring potentially terrible scent.I took a chance and ordered. Paddywax did not let me down.Of all the notes, I think tuberose is the most apparent – I didn’t smell much gardenia but the floral is overwhelming, so it could have contributed there. This is on the sweeter side of floral; I personally prefer greener or more herbal notes, but my friend was overjoyed. Her exact words were, “it smells AMAZING – like Hawaii!”I can’t comment on throw or burn time but I think you can feel confident giving this as a gift. The box is also beautiful: sturdy with textured cardboard and the quote stickered on the side. The candle itself is plain, but the amber glass looks vintage, almost medicinal, and could work well with a variety of interiors.I’m not sure I would purchase this for myself given the price, but it turned out to be the perfect present, so four stars.

Great gift for friends, teachers, librarians, and myself
I havenât found a Paddywax candle I havenât liked, but a few of these library candles are tops. The Charles Dickens scent is a holiday favorite, with my best friend telling me everyone that came to her house commented on how great her house smelled – she was burning this Dickens candle I had sent to her. Iâve admittedly stockpiled a few for myself and when I had a bunch of candles out for my kids to pick from for their teachers, they both wanted to give them these. (I inevitably ordered a bunch more.) Top library scents to me are this one and Tolstoy. Always have some stashed.

Best scented candle Iâve ever had
This is a really great and unstated candle for those long cold nights writing Great Expectations. Spicey and masculine so good gift for guy. One thing though, they ship their product with multiple earth-saddening layers – 3 Russian-doll-like boxes, and a ton of bubble wrap in between each for 2 4-inch high candles. Surely this could have protected the glass in a more pared-down way??

Beautiful product. The smell is a light floral, with a distinct gardenia note. The seller is really great. Highly responsive and would definitely shop from them again 😉

La candela è buona e molto bella, ma la confezione arrivata è completamente rovinata. Inoltre è stata presa per un regalo, quindi così è assai poco presentabile. Considerato il costo non banale di questi prodotti mi sarei aspettata una cura maggiore.
