Inside the Reading Room Candle Club Box

Reading Room is inspired by od libraries, home studies and corners of the house where books pile up and the light is low.

It’s the feeling of settling in with a good book and nowhere else to be.

The Reading Room Candle

This month’s Reading Room candle is grounded and comforting.

It starts with teakwood, cedar and leather, which feels a lot like wooden shelves and well-worn armchairs. As it burns, sandalwood softens the room, while dark musk and patchouli add depth.

Underneath it all are notes of pine and amber, giving the candle an earthy finish that feels familiar.

What’s in the Box?

Every Candle Club box is put thoughtfully curated to celebreate the season.

The candle

220g or 400g pure soy wax candle in "Reading Room" exclusive scent.

Journal prompt postcard

Each box includes a postcard with gentle journal prompts. They’re there if you feel like writing — or you can tuck it into a book and come back to them later.

Reading playlist

Included is a curated playlist for the month, made to play quietly in the background while you read, rest or potter around at home.

Cozy gift of the month: Vegan leather bookmark

This month’s cozy extra is a vegan leather bookmark — practical and made to be used every day. One of those things that quickly becomes a favourite.

Whittaker’s chocolate

And because reading is better with a little treat, there’s a piece of Whittaker’s chocolate included too!

Everything is packed by hand in the warehouse, which is still one of the most satisfying parts of Candle Club week.

Thank you to Nectar Photography for our Candle Club images.

The Power of Collaboration: Our Partnership with Forté

Forté approached us with a vision: to create a signature scent that would embody their brand's rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic.

The Birth of "Sylvan"

During an inspiring blend session at our studio, we worked alongside the Forté team to craft what would become "Sylvan" – a scent that perfectly captures their brand. This scent tells Forté's story through notes of dry woods, rich spices, leather, and smoke.

The name "Sylvan," meaning "of the forest".

The Art of Custom Scent Creation

Creating a signature scent for another brand is both an honour and a responsibility. It requires deep listening, understanding not just what a brand does, but who they are at their core. The process was collaborative from start to finish. We presented various scent profiles, refined notes based on feedback and ultimately landed on a fragrance that felt authentically Forté while showcasing the artisanal quality that we are known for.

More Than Just a Candle

"Sylvan" represents more than a beautiful scent – it's a testament to what's possible when creative minds collaborate. Housed in our signature amber vessel and featuring Forté's distinctive branding, each candle becomes a piece of functional art that extends their brand experience into their clients' homes and spaces.

The Ripple Effect of Partnership

Working with Forté has reinforced our belief in the power of collaboration. When brands with shared values come together, the result is often something greater than the sum of its parts. A signature scent doesn't just smell good – it creates emotional connections, enhances brand recall, and provides a sensory touchpoint that customers carry with them.

May Candle Club: Favourite Flannel - A Story of Autumn's Closing

Picture this: the day is drawing to a close, and you step outside to gather the last of the firewood. The trusty axe in your hands has seen countless winters – its worn wooden handle smooth from years of faithful use. Each swing sends a satisfying crack through the crisp air as you split the seasoned logs, the scent of fresh timber mingling with the cold evening breeze.

As twilight settles over the landscape, you carry your arms full of wood inside, the promise of warmth and comfort ahead.

The fireplace crackles to life, casting dancing shadows across the room while gentle smoke curls up the chimney. You sink into that perfect vintage armchair and reach for your most beloved oversized flannel shirt.

This is the moment our May "Favourite Flannel" collection was born to capture.

Cozy Evenings Ahead...

Our exclusive "Favourite Flannel" candle brings together the symphony of scents that make winter evenings so magical:

• Warming smoke from the crackling fireplace

• Rich amber that glows like the dying embers

• Weathered driftwood reminiscent of seasoned logs

• Soft cotton like your most-worn flannel

• Cozy embrace of that perfect, oversized shirt that feels like a warm hug

Winter's Companions

To complete your cozy winter experience, we've thoughtfully curated items that enhance those fireside moments:

• DIY Beeswax Taper Candle Kit: Perfect for lighting during dinner while the wind whistles outside, adding your own handcrafted touch to the evening's ambiance

• Winter reflection journal prompts: Thoughtful questions for those quiet moments in your favorite chair

• Indie winter playlist: Carefully selected melodies that complement the crackling fire and gentle evening light

• And more seasonal surprises to discover!
