No. 40 Livraria Antiga

A scent steeped in nostalgia, No. 40 Livraria Antiga transports you to an intimate, dimly lit bookstore tucked within Lisbon’s winding cobblestone streets. The air is thick with history—fragrant leather-bound volumes, the soft mustiness of aged paper, and the delicate imprint of dried ink. Sandalwood and saffron lend warmth, while a whisper of powdery rose and patchouli mirrors the romance of well-worn pages. Smoky birch resin lingers, evoking the quiet poetry of time passing between well-loved bookshelves.

CANDLE CARE & SAFETY

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use to ensure a clean, even burn.
• On the first burn, allow the wax to melt to the edge of the jar to prevent tunneling.
• For optimal burn time, limit use to 3-4 hours per session.
• Keep candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, and air currents.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Avoid placing candles on glass, wood, or marble surfaces.
• Stop burning the candle when only ¼ inch of wax remains in the container.
• If the flame creates black smoke or residue on the jar, extinguish the candle, let it cool, and trim the wick before relighting.
