Enter through a great door, crafted from an ancient tree.
Rich, glimmering wooden aisles point inward.
Upward, ink-filled pages yearn with hidden mystery.
Fine leather chairs, waiting to get lost in.
Vast tables aflicker with candlelight.
Time suspended.
Imagination captured in words.
Hush! Embrace the stillness.
Poem by Stephen Tracy
Reading Room
The Scent
The rich, heady air of an ancient library. Rich woods, polishes, leathers and dark ink blend together as you get lost in an armchair and novel.
Perfect for creating a luxurious moment of thoughtful calm in any room of the house.
The Memories
“I was fortunate to study at Trinity College in Cambridge. The dining hall was built by Henry VIII, and a large portrait of him has hung at the end of the room for 450 years. Entering the famous college library—where some books were centuries old too—was a humbling experience. I'll never forget the smell of those books, nor the absolute stillness in the air.”

Key Notes
Guaiacwood: A protected species with special permits for perfumery, this exotic wood imparts an almost holy smokiness with just enough creaminess.
Elemi Oil: Similar to frankincense, an oil with an incense-like pepperiness, uplifted by a little lemon.
Cedar Wood: Woody, dry, reminiscent of a pencil tip, fresh wood shavings.
Beeswax: A reassuringly familiar scent, bringing to mind freshly polished wood as well as wild honey and flowers.
Angelica Seeds: Known as the 'Holy Ghost', Angelica yields an oil from its seeds known for its herbaceous, tangy and earthy aspects..
Cedar Leaves: Woody and mysterious, adds one of the special je-ne-sais-quoi’s of libraries.

Dear Keap,
I'm two shipments into my new Keap candle subscription, and I just wanted to send a note saying how much I've enjoyed the experience so far. The personalized touches really warm my heart, and the candles of course are wonderful :-) Thanks for doing what you do!
