A candle built around the scent of an old manuscript. Damp ink and leather-bound covers sit at its centre, with a thread of earthy lavender — the kind pressed and forgotten between pages. The strength is medium: present in a room without taking it over.

Mythologie names it for the Book of Kells, and it is made to be lit alongside an old book or a slow evening. Each candle is hand-poured.

Material & dimensions

A hand-poured scented candle. Scent notes — damp ink, leather-bound covers, and a hint of dried lavender. Medium scent strength.

Hand-poured to order; please allow extra time for shipment.

Care

Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each lighting, and let the first burn run until the melt pool reaches the edge — it sets the pattern for an even burn.

Keep the flame away from draughts and anything that can catch, never leave it unattended, and stop use when about a centimetre of wax remains.

This was the candle I was most looking forward to, so I might have set expectations too high. I do like the scent, but again, it's not quite what I'd hoped for. I'm not sure if it's not got enough leather or lavender. At first the scent was really weak, but the more I've burned it (further down in the jar), it gives much more fragrance.

Straight out of the box I thought Book of Kells was pleasant. But then I lit it and I fell head over heels for this scent!

I tend to hoard my candles and smell instead of burning them, but I've made an exception because I loved this scent from the moment I opened the lid. I brewed some tea, shut the cats and kids out of the office, lit this candle, and sat next to it with my pliers and beads. Now I am flooded with memories. I saw the Book of Kells while in Dublin 21 years ago. I remember the other places I visited with my late grandmother. Giant's Causeway. Galway. Londonderry/Derry. Belfast. Omagh. Waterford. Lond...

This is my all time favorite candle scent. It would be like Gandalf placing a scent spell on Gollum knocking him off the hobbits trail in Mordor.

This smell is the kind you might expect in a library or apothecary, it's strong but comforting and elegant. I light it every day.

The smell was a bit too strong for me at first, but after the initial burn and some time to get used to it, it's not too bad. My favorite remains the Tudor House Library, but this one is definitely top 5 for me.

I will be back in the States in a Month..and blissfully opening all my lovely Candels then..bathing in the wonderful fantasy contained therein...

The leather and lavendar are so fresh. It really does smell like a library and dusty old pages! I can't wait to get another.

First off, the communication on where the candle is at in the process is a great thing. After receiving the candle, I was unsure how the 100°F heat would affect the candle. When I opened it, it was double boxed, cool inner box, and no issues with the candle. The wax was level. I opened the lid, and thought it might have too much lavender. When I lit it, it was great.
