Book Boyfriend Candle | The Perfect Gift for Book Lovers UK

A candle for people who fall for fictional men and never fully recover.

Some book characters don’t stay on the page.
They linger. They set the bar too high. They ruin real men just a little.

Book Boyfriend was made for readers who know that feeling.

This is a dark, warm, addictive scent with depth and attitude. It smells rich without being sweet, cosy without being boring, and confident without trying too hard.

The kind of candle you light during late-night reading sessions when sleep is optional and emotional attachment is guaranteed.

What it smells like

Deep plum and pomegranate lead the way, softened by rose and grounded with patchouli and a subtle leather warmth underneath.

It’s moody, romantic, and grown-up. Not sugary. Not shouty. Just quietly magnetic.

Fragrance notes:
Plum · Pomegranate · Rose · Patchouli · Leather
