About Book Scents Candles

Book Scents’ story has a humble beginning. It started with 14 fragrances and a double-boiler wax melter in my basement, and with patience and dedication, I’ve built from there. Since 2013 I’ve been creating more and more book-inspired candles. My customers often ask why I make candles inspired by books. Books, and the stories that grace their pages, have played a part in helping me overcome difficult times. Through my husband’s deployments, moving to new places where I knew no one, and low times in my life, I could count on books to help me cope with the reality of each day. I learned that I could find another way to connect with book lovers, fans, and other people like me through Book Scents. We can forget the negativity in the world for a little while and escape through books and fragrance. - Nalana Lillie, Chief Candle Maker and OwnerRead their story
