Explore our library of scented stories.

Literati & Light create and sell premium candles that are inspired by great works of literature. We select the notes for each of our fragrances from the books that we reference, to create expertly blended fragrances that really do tell a scented story. We follow ethical and environmentally friendly business practices to ensure that, like the writers and the artists that inspire us, we create candles that enhance rather than detract from the world that we share.

Literati & Light candles are created from a blend of high-quality soy and natural beeswax to give a superior hot and cold fragrance throw, whilst providing a clean, safe, and long-lasting burn. Cotton wicks minimise soot and allow each candle to burn evenly.

For total control over the production process, every Literati & Light candle is carefully hand poured using artisan techniques in beautiful Berkshire. We use boxes and tissue paper that have been made from recycled materials to package our products and every Literati & Light fragrance has been expertly blended from a mixture of essential oils and high-grade safe synthetic fragrances. These carefully selected ingredients combine to create long-lasting, luxury scented candles that recreate the stories of the past in fragrance.
