OUTRAS CONVERSAS | Velas literárias, o que é isso?!


O folhear de um livro é um momento único, em que todos os sentidos estão apurados.
É inegável: um verdadeiro livrólico adora o cheiro a livros. 

Um dia destes tropecei num site que dava conta de algo que para mim é novo: velas literárias!
Fiquei intrigada e numa pesquisa descobri que não só existem velas com cheiro a livros, como velas com um odor específico de determinados livros.
Ora vejam:

1. Frostbeard

"Part of our Book Lovers' Series, this candle is a completely original fragrance inspired by the smell of old books! The scent is a slightly sweet and earthy smell with a hint of must. (Not mildewy, rotten old books!) Ideal for bibliophiles of all sorts. 
Scents: Paper, Dust, Newsprint and a hint of Vanilla"
Gatsby's Mansion Soy Candle
"Gatsby's Mansion: A fresh scent, reminiscent of a night spent ocean-side, wistfully gazing at the green light across the bay. Slightly sweet champagne overtones, with an added sea fragrance and mild floral notes.
Scents: Champagne Fizz, Sea Mist, Daisy."


"Part of our Book Lovers' Series, this candle is a completely original scent! Smells like a wise, old wizard's office.
The scent is cozy and woodsy, with a touch of lemon drop.
Scents: Cedarwood vanilla, fireplace and lemon!"

Sassenach - Soy Candle - Book Lovers' Scented Soy Candle - 8oz jar
"Part of our Book Lovers' Series, this Sassenach soy wax candle is a completely original scent! Transport yourself to the Scottish Highlands with this therapeutic and invigorating scent.
Scents: Lavender, Thyme, Basil & Herb"

3. From the Page

Hagrid's Pumpkin Patch Soy Candle - 8 oz Peeta's Cakes Soy Candle - 8 oz
"Bring the Fall indoors with a Hagrid's Pumpkin Patch candle! With this sugary and spicy blend of pumpkin, you'll feel like you're in Hogwarts right at Halloween time.

Já conheciam estas velas?
Temos muitos book sniffers por aí?
Eu cá fiquei curiosa e com vontade de ler um livro embalada pelo cheiro da respectiva vela.
