A Cozy Candle Moment With Gentleman Farmer
Books and candles are two of my favorite things so naturally I spent yesterday early evening lost in notes of bergamot, cedarwood, leather, and spices leafing through worn, well-loved stories .
I have always loved the smell of old book pages and this Wood Paneled Library Candle’s scent will make you think of yellowed, crinkled aged pages, worn book covers, aged leather, and a touch of wooden bookshelf and inviting stories of yore. Wow Gentleman Farmer…..you have given my modern open reading nook a vintage library feel through aroma and I am in love. The scent is truly reminiscent of aged books. It’s such an intriguing timeless scent!
Gentleman Farmer ‘s candles are designed to be subtle and not overpower or overwhelm you. They offer a 55-hour burn time, are hand-poured by refugee women in Western Massachusetts.
Their packaging is not only chic but consciously produced:
• The cartons are produced locally by Diamond Packaging, a woman-owned company, in a wind-powered, zero-waste-certified facility. The paper used is FSC-certified and produced with 100% green energy.
• The labels are made with FSC-certified, acid-free paper.
• They use a soy-coconut wax blend. Candles are traditionally made of paraffin, which is actually a fossil fuel derivative.
And super fun fact: the smell of old books is due to the organic materials in books (like cellulose from wood pulp) reacting with light, heat and water, that over time, releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.
VOCs can be used to date older books.
