This late night reading candle was designed for the nocturnal bookworm — the book lover whose best chapters happen after the house goes quiet. Late Night Reading opens with bright bergamot, cools into crisp sea salt, and settles on grounding sandalwood, so the outside world fades until only the world of your book remains.
Bergamot is the citrus that gives Earl Grey tea its signature lift — a fitting top note for a candle built around reading rituals. Each one is truly handmade: hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina from 100% pure soy wax, no paraffin, no blends.

Late Night Reading — Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Late Night Reading candle smell like?
Late Night Reading by Aarka Origins blends bergamot, sea salt, and sandalwood — citrus-bright on top, clean in the middle, warm and woody underneath. It is the least sweet scent in the bookish range: fresh, serene, and easy to read beside for hours.
Is this a good gift for someone who reads before bed?
Yes — it suits avid readers who prefer fresh, unisex scents over gourmand ones. Wax melts from $11.99 make a low-risk introduction; the 8 oz jar’s 45+ hour burn covers a month of late chapters.
Is it 100% soy and safe for nightly burning?
Yes. Late Night Reading is hand-poured in small batches in North Carolina, USA, from 100% pure soy wax with a lead-free cotton wick and phthalate-free, dye-free fragrance oil — vegan and cruelty-free. Trim the wick and cap burns at about two hours for the cleanest flame.
Candle care: trim the wick to 1/4" before each burn and keep burns to about two hours at a time for an even, tunnel-free melt pool. More scents for readers await in the book lovers’ candle collection.
