Smells Like My Book Boyfriend

A Bookish Candle-Making Experience

If your book boyfriend were a candle… what would he smell like?

Join us for Smells Like My Book Boyfriend, a romantasy-inspired candle-making event in partnership with Sea Love and Sirens & Swords.

Create your own 10oz custom candle using curated scent profiles inspired by favorite fantasy and romantasy characters, from morally gray men to powerful heroines. Whether you’re a BookTok lover, fantasy reader, or just looking for a fun, creative afternoon, this event is all about cozy vibes and community.

While your candle cures, enjoy:
• A themed photo area
• Light refreshments
• Bookish merch for sale
• A special giveaway during the event
