If you take the creaminess out of this candle, it smells similar to Diptyque’s L’eau Papier. I assume this is BBW’s attempt to make niche into mass market. That scent is meant to evoke the scents of books. The Diptyque description is “L’Eau Papier eau de toilette celebrates a creative encounter, a moment of suspension in which hand, ink and the blank sheet are as one. A gentle, hazy cocoon - and an invitation to create.” I’m going to wear mine to the store later and compare them directly.

Interesting. I tried L'ueau Papier when i was searching for a minimalist fragrance but it just didn't work for me (and as a librarian I was hoping it would!)

I was coming to comment this. I have Leau Papier and it’s the reason I purchased this candle. I love that smell. The candle is sooo disappointing.

This is what I was looking for! Because I really want the smell of an old bookstore!

I love Book Loft, but agree with the reviewer about it's strength. But, I will be buying more of the candle because in a small room or next to me on my office desk while I work, it's worth it.

Was certainly looking forward to your thoughts on this candle! Refreshing Zen - well I'm here for that but no throw - damn! It's too bad BBW couldn't capture a library/book smell!

as an employee, you explained this really well. i've been curious about the fragrance notes in this because i'm very on the fence about it. it has a nice first-smell to it, but i don't love the after-smell. at first, it has a really nice gentle floral with some very gentle musty-like and maybe a little eucalyptus; for me, the after-smell is very floral, almost like peony and lilac. hearing about how it burns has changed my mind, i had high hopes for this!

The smell on cold smelled like a hug from my late grandfather. I hope it is good burning 🙃

coming back after 10 days to give y'all the fragrance notes! its neroli, bergamot, and cozy woods. it kind of reminds me of sea salt & neroli from last year, but not as sweet. i love the neroli and bergamot in this candle, but the woods kind of brings too much floral for me. i don't love the candle, but the WALLFLOWER, my lord how i love the wallflower of this fragrance; it has the perfect mix of warm neroli, i love it.

I smelled this one in the store and got almost nothing from it on cold. It was a very, very light scent that I can't even really describe. Some people seem to really like this one, so maybe some batches are better than others, but I couldn't even get enough fragrance from cold sniff to decide if I even liked the smell or not.

I literally have been going through it since the new year so really haven’t purchased anything since SAS. This is on my list though and darn it’s weak! Grrrr!! I wish it would be strong! BBW NEEDS TO BRING BACK Paris Cafe Bouquet I feel like you can imagine yourself reading a book in a cafe with that fragrance burning in the background. I only have a few left and pulled one to burn in the next month or so. But I would def Pick up more!! Love PCB!!

Reading Nook sounds better than Book Loft. Wish they’d have released that one in a 3-wick instead.

Thanks for the review, Ken. I just bought Book Loft after work and immigrants lit it once I got home. It's almost pooled out and I don't smell much of anything so far. Zero throw. I agree with you about the fragrance notes you described...a floral with a cozy musk. I plan to exchange it this weekend. Bummer.

@TheCandleChannel 8 ай бұрын

Yes, it's terrible. I saw somewhere that it gets stronger as you go, so I burned it even more and it's still totally unscented.

@charliegirl2468 8 ай бұрын

@@TheCandleChannel I am having a similar relationship with Almond Croissant. Love the fragrance, but it's very low in throw. Based on your experience, do you think it will improve, or should I exchange it, too?
