Restricted Section | 8 oz Soy Candle | Teakwood, Leather & Cedar | Handmade in Greenville, SC

Looking for a library-scented candle that smells like old books and hidden knowledge?

Restricted Section is a dark, atmospheric soy candle inspired by shadowy stacks, leather-bound volumes, and the quiet hum of a place you’re not supposed to be — but entered anyway.

This candle opens with teakwood, rich and polished like aged shelves and well-worn desks. The heart unfolds into leather and cedar, evoking antique bindings and towering bookcases. A deep, lingering base of amyris, dark musk, sandalwood, and patchouli adds warmth and mystery, recreating the unmistakable scent of library pages, ink, and history.

It’s intellectual. Moody. Slightly forbidden.

What does Restricted Section smell like?

It smells like old library books, leather covers, polished wood, and quiet curiosity. The scent is warm, woody, and musky — not sweet, not smoky — and perfect for reading, writing, or late-night focus.
