Reading Retreat Candle | Cosy Candle for Book Lovers & Quiet Moments

A candle for quiet readers who treat stillness as a luxury.

Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all.

Reading Retreat is made for slow mornings, unhurried afternoons, and evenings where the world feels a little too loud.

It’s designed to feel calm, grounded, and gently cocooning, the kind of candle you light when you want to read without rushing and exist without expectations.

This is about space. Time. And choosing quiet on purpose.

What It Smells Like

This is a soft, warm, atmospheric scent that feels comforting rather than cosy-sweet.
It’s clean, steady, and grounding, filling the room in a calm, even way without overpowering your senses.

Cedarwood and amber create warmth and depth, softened by gentle spice and lavender. The result is familiar, soothing, and quietly reassuring.
