Our Story

Once upon a time, there was a school teacher who loved books --

 

And then she went blind. But that's not how her story ends, it was just beginning!

 

 When she lost her sight, she lost more than her teaching career. She lost the comforting weight of a book in her hands, the joy of flipping through pages, the quiet thrill of wandering a bookstore. The emptiness that followed felt maddening.

 

So, she went looking for stories in a new way. 🌙

 

With a background in chemistry 🔬 and a lifelong love of literature 💕, she began creating fragrances that captured the soul of the stories she missed.

 

A candle that smelled like a dusty library. A perfume that whispered of enchanted forests and ancient castles. Slowly, she built a library of scent — one that could be felt, remembered, and shared.

 

And that’s how Smells Like Books was born — a small but heartfelt studio where stories linger in the air. 🕯️

 

Today, every candle and perfume is hand-blended and named with intention, inspired by the magic of fictional worlds and beloved characters.

 

From the moody moors of Wuthering Heights to the sweet streets of Stars Hollow, from the shadowy mystery of 221B Baker Street to the wild comfort of The Shire — each fragrance is a sensory bookmark, ready to transport you. ✨

 

Smells Like Books isn’t just about scent. It’s about connection, imagination, and the belief that stories stay with us — no matter how we read them. 💫
