What Makes It Uncommon

Andrea Hetzke has captured the quiet magic of a library in full sensory form. Her bibliophile-inspired candle evokes the soft rustle of pages, the worn wood of study desks, and the sweet trace of perfume from a passing stranger. With notes of timeworn pages, antique woodwork, cedar, and vanilla, this candle is made for readers, thinkers, dark academia-ers, and anyone who finds comfort in the hush of well-loved books.

  • Scented with nostalgic notes of old paper, woodwork, cedar, and a soft hint of vanilla perfume.
  • Perfect for reading nooks, study sessions, or moments when you need a mental reset.
  • 7 oz. glass vessel filled with clean-burning wax.
  • Makes a thoughtful gift for book lovers, students, and cozy homebodies alike.
  • Burns for 50-60 hours.
  • Hand poured in Illinois.

Andrea Hetzke

Andrea Hetzke is a librarian by day and a candle maker by every other waking moment. Based in Illinois, she blends her love of books, storytelling, and science into candles inspired by scent memories and literary moments. What began as a kitchen-table hobby during the pandemic has since grown into a full-fledged creative studio?one filled with wax melters, shipping boxes, and endless experiments in fragrance. Entirely self-taught, Andrea handcrafts each candle herself and draws inspiration from the quiet beauty of libraries, her favorite authors, and the joyful reactions of customers who find comfort in her creations.

Care

First Burn Matters Let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the jar the first time you light it. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn. Trim the Wick Keep your wick trimmed to about ¼ inch before each burn. This keeps the flame steady and reduces smoke. Burn Time Don’t burn your candle for more than 3–4 hours at a time. This helps preserve the fragrance and keeps your jar safe. Safety First Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects. Stop burning when about ½ inch of wax remains. Storage Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve scent .
