Product Description

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.

5 Stars
Strong floral scent.
Paddywax Candles Library Collection Jane Austen Soy Wax Candle, 6.5-Ounce (Gardenia, Tuberose, JJasmine) I am very impressed with this candle. Fantastic presentation all around but to top it all off the candle itself is amazing as well. The scent is incredibly strong and just what I wanted. You almost don’t even need to burn this candle for the scent to fill the room. This candle is very floral, you can certainly make out the jasmine and gardenia. Those were the first things I noticed even before I could open the box.I love the design of the box and the candle itself. The theme is great. This is also highly giftable which makes it all that much better. Though I have to say I would be very tempted to want to keep the candle if I were to get one as a gift.The price is on the high side but for this quality I see many candles sell for the same or more. I would order from this brand again with how strong these smells regardless and that’s kind of saying something because I very rarely would pay this much for a candle this size. All around a fantastic product!Update:So I still really like this candle but the scent once a little further burned does dissipate some. I have noticed now about half-burned it doesn’t quite have as strong of a smell when it’s burning as it did at first. This was disappointing as I loved the candle. I will say though it burns very slow and honestly, it’s a bit impressive how long it took to get even half the way burned. I got to admit while I think the quality is still impressive it’s hard to say it’s worth the price as an everyday candle. For a special occasion or a gift I would be more inclined to purchase another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice and Unique Candles
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2011

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!

I was expecting a bit bigger candle but its is a big votive size. The glass it comes in is pretty and can be reused. I didnt know what to make of the scent at first but it grew on me. Its hard to describe but it smells good. The candle is just sitting unlit in my bathroom & guest still say they smell it & like it.

I fell in love with these candles!! The scent is beautiful. I put the Jane Austin candle in front of the open bedroom window at night, and even with the candle unlit, the breeze carries the scent into the room. Makes me feel like I am sleeping in a beautiful cottage in the country, surrounded by sweet flower gardens. I store the new, unused ones in my linen closet, and my sheets have just a light hint of the scent when I remake the bed, its wonderful!! They are worth every penny I have spent! They are packaged beautifully and I have given them as a last minute gift, and they have been a huge hit.
Make the purchase, you wont regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Smells incredible, clever packaging
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2013

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.

I love Paddywax candles and this is my favorite scent. It is floral, but not overpowering. It smells very fresh and clean -- like the scent of a garden after a rain. And how can you NOT buy a candle dedicated to Jane Austen?
