The quality of a candle is often determined by the type of wax used. Soy wax is a popular choice for book-inspired candles due to its clean burn and eco-friendly nature. It is made from renewable resources and produces less soot compared to other waxes. Frostbeard Studio's candles, such as the Babylon Candle with its storm, stargazer lily, and moss scent, are crafted using soy wax, ensuring a delightful aroma and a clean burn. This makes them a great choice for marathon reading sessions, as they offer a long-lasting and enjoyable experience.

When you settle in for a long reading session, it's important to use candles safely. Frostbeard Studio's candles, like Sherlock's Study, offer a pleasant scent with cherrywood, tobacco, and rain. These candles burn for 40+ hours, but remember to limit burning to 2-3 hours at a time for safety. The Oxford Library candle, with its sandalwood, oak, and leather notes, also provides an inviting atmosphere. Both are made from soy wax, which burns cleanly and improves your reading spot with delightful fragrances. Always follow safety guidelines to enjoy your candle safely.
