Second Breakfast — Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Second Breakfast candle smell like?
It smells like a full autumn breakfast table: spiced pumpkin waffles, amber maple syrup, and buttery toasted pecans. Toasting is what unlocks a pecan's aroma — heat develops its nutty, almost caramel character — and that warmth anchors the whole blend so it reads like a meal, not just a syrup bottle.
Is this a good gift for fantasy readers?
Yes — Second Breakfast is a beloved gift for Tolkien readers and cozy-fantasy fans; the name nods to the hobbits' famous insistence on a second morning meal. Wax melts from $11.99 make an easy fandom gift, and it pairs naturally with The Shire hobbit candle for a two-part set.
Is this candle handmade and 100% soy?
It is. Every one is hand-poured in small batches at Aarka Origins' North Carolina shop from 100% pure soy wax — no paraffin, no blends — with phthalate-free, dye-free, vegan fragrance oil and a lead-free cotton wick, part of a catalog of 280+ book-inspired scents.
Care: trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn and keep burns to about 2 hours at a time. Browse all 280+ scents in our book candles for book lovers collection.
