Book Candle - Whispers & Nightmares
$33.00
Scent: Guaiacwood, Tobacco, Vanilla
In the realms of tales and legends, there exists a fabled artifact, a tome concealed amidst the shelves of forgotten lore. Its mundane exterior belies the incredible power that lies within its pages. Whispered among scholars and adventurers alike, it is known as the enigmatic "Book of Whispers & Nightmares". Many have ventured forth in search of this lost relic, only to be cast aside by its enigmatic nature. Throughout the annals of time, the legend has swelled, shrouded in mystery and cloaked with the passing of ages.
The book, supposedly bound in in basic obsidian hues, exudes an ancient and intoxicating scent reminiscent of bygone times. A wondrous blend of guaiacwood, sumac, birch, and tobacco leaf interwoven harmoniously with spirals of smoky vanilla and roasted chestnuts. Intricately blended into this opulent fragrance is a touch of cacao and elemi, adding depth and intensity to an already captivating olfactory experience - all captured within this inspired book candle.
Theories abound regarding the hidden truths and menacing perils that may be trapped within the book's secrets. Yet, the passage of time has either veiled them in obscurity or rendered them mere figments of imagination - fabrications conjured to weave a chilling tale around the flickering embers of a campfire.
And so, the mystique lingers, the allure persists. The Book of Whispers & Nightmares belongs not merely to reality or fiction, but transcends the boundaries of both, indelibly etched within the tapestry of whispered dreams and untold nightmares.
