I bought for the smell because I wanted to make books with it. It smells so amazing! I can say it moves pretty quickly but I was able to get a smooth pour.
This one I LOVED!!
This is probably the best scent i have ever smelled im going back for a bigger size!
This is one of my best sellers that always goes fast at vendor events! Both men and women love it and ill admit i usually stash away some for my own personal use. I use this in candles and car air fresheners and they always get snatched within the first hour of an event. It smells like a handsome, refined gentleman sitting in a leather chair while reading in his personal library full of old books. An absolute keeper!
Amazing scent, lingers well. Masculine but very pleasant for anyone!
I love this scent. I blended it with another scent. It is the perfect bookish scent and my customers love it
purchased a 2 ounce bottle of this back in April and loved it right out of the bottle.Last week I decided to test it in a wax, the Maker's Blend, and...I will ABSOLUTELY be buying a full size bottle! I put the hot throw to test this past Wednesday and it is fantastic, still going strong in my wax burner today. I don't leave my warmer on all day it runs from 8 am to 10 am and 5pm to 9pm. Even when warmer is not on the cold throw is very strong. This fragrance truly transports right in to Sherlock's study with its soft smokiness, and leather bound books notes.
Masculine but not overbearing. Highly recommend! Behaves well in hp soaps & body butter.
I really like the smell of this fragrance
Many of my customers buy this because it reminds them of something from their childhood. This is definitely on of my mainstays and one of my personal favorites. Masculine, but not musky.
This is a customer favorite! I am constantly selling out of my products made with this scent. It is a winner!!
My customers love this one, but I don't market it as anything study, leather or suede related. This pulls extremely heavy floral and I market it as such with "bloom" in the name. This is a great seller, but I don't get any hints of aged library books. From reading the other reviews I see I may be in the minority.
One of my best smellers especially for my book loving customers!
I'm obsessed with this scent! I use it in a lotion and perfume. The worn leather and cedar middle notes add a rugged, intellectual depth. The base notes truly make this fragrance unforgettable. The dark tonka, patchouli, and sandalwood blend together in a rich, intense harmony that's both seductive and intimidating. I love how this scent defies traditional notions of femininity, instead embracing a darker, more androgynous elegance. It's perfect for anyone who's ever felt like an outsider, a rebel, or a seeker of forbidden truths. It's masculine leaning but gives me a dark academia babe vibe.
It doesn’t really have that bookish smell I was looking for but it is a nice scent overall.
We lean towards masculine scents and this one is great!
I chose 4 scents and love all of them, which was unexpected. Using them in my car in a fragrance diffuser jar, and it is working out well.
I blend this with another MWF scent for one of my bestsellers.. Book Store. It literally flies off the shelf. Please don't ever discontinue this one!
This scent is spot on!! Perfect alone or as a blend! Will definitely be buying more!
This scent is sophisticated yet very intriguing. I plan to make this into a blend just have’t figured out what to blend it with.
Not as strong as some other scents, but I really enjoy the subtlety of this scent. Very comforting
Expected dusty old library, but this is beautiful! I never knew that I would love rosewood! I LOVE this scent in my Soy/Beeswax candles! Its a nice fall scent that isn't a foody.
I really liked the scent so ordered along with my fall s ends . After one sniff decided to add to my line .
Old grandma scent, not my fave.
I love the rich scent of this oil. The aged leather and worn books in a great way!
a great masculine scent. I love this one!
Wonderful scents for my wax melts
Nice strong scent. One of my favorites
Very good quality, and received in a timely . Thank you!!
This is such a beautiful scent. I think this is definitely unisex as it has a powdery note but not so soft that it wouldn't appeal to a man. We use this in our cold process soap and never have an issue. The scent is still there long after saponification!
I love this fragrance and so do my customers! It's a wonderful woodsy yet warm scent that both women and men tend to gravitate towards and it's very easily become a best seller for me. I've used this in candles, room + linen spray, wax melts and CP soap (5% usage). This FO doesn't play very nice in my soap recipe as it causes extreme acceleration plus light tan discoloration but it is so worth it.
This FO delivers a hint of nostalgia and timelessness in my soy blend candles. It’s rich and warm and elegant- and somewhat calls to mind a particular pipe tobacco from my childhood that my grandfather used to smoke. Will buy again.

Using our fragrance oils is super simple, and we’re here to guide you! For candles, we recommend adding your fragrance to the melted wax when it’s at the correct temperature (usually around 185°F, but check your wax’s specs). Mix well, pour, and let the magic happen. For soap-making, our oils are perfect for melt-and-pour, cold process, or hot process soaps. Always follow recommended usage rates and do a small test batch to ensure everything works beautifully.

The recommended fragrance load can vary depending on your project, but here’s a good starting point: for candles, we suggest 6–10% of your total wax weight, depending on your wax type and personal preference. For soaps, always checkIFRA usage rates to ensure your oils are skin-safe and used at the right level. When in doubt, start small and adjust until you find your perfect balance!
