There’s a certain magic in the air when the seasons turn and the school library transforms into a treasure trove of glittery bookmarks, scratch-and-sniff stickers, and glossy paperback dreams. You clutch your paper order form like a map to secret wonders, the scent of sharpened pencils and freshly cracked spines mingling with the faint sweetness of lunchbox apples and something warm, familiar—like soft dough and stories yet to be told. Book Fair is a cozy exhale of childhood enchantment, where imagination lingers in every page.

Absolutely wonderful! This perfume is so unique, warm, and nostalgic. I couldn't stop smelling my wrist all day! I can smell every note and it melts together into a perfect fall scent. Will definitely be getting more scents in the future♡
Amazing!
Packaged so nicely! Love the cashmere note.

Let customers speak for us
from 48 reviewsThe bottles are beautiful and arrived in a timely manner! I'll be reviewing the individual scents I received on their respective pages: Autumn Leaves, Elven Rose Elixir, Violet Embers, and Frangipane (which came in as a bonus sample).

I ordered 5 scents to try and they are all so unique! I have been wearing one at a time, starting with Lavender Marriage, and so far I am loving the longevity and depth of the scent over the course of the day. I can’t wait to try out the rest -they smell so whimsical, magical, and witchy in the best way!!

All 3of the perfume oils I received were unique and balanced scents. I was impressed with how accurate the description lists were, none of the notes of these fragrances are lost. The roller balls were cute and sturdy. Very pleased!

Packaged so nicely! Love the cashmere note.

This scent came to me as a free sample with my order. Despite being a gourmand lover, I wasn't particularly curious about this one while browsing through the catalog. It seemed pretty simple, and I usually go for a gourmand that has a little something "extra", like additional floral or smoky notes. But when I tried Frangipane, I instantly loved it!
It starts out with a hint of tropical fruitiness from the coconut without being overbearing. The honey note is present, but the creamy notes keep it from being sticky or syrupy. To me it overall translates as more of a cake or cookie-like fragrance than a pastry one. That distinction is difficult to describe, but to me it doesn't smell like something that would be flakey-textured. If season is a factor in choosing scents for you, I see this as a late spring and light summer vibe.
If you're feeling experimental, I've found that this also smells great with a touch of Elven Rose Elixir!

The blood orange and clove create a scent that immediately reminds me of hot mulled wine! The cedar and oakmoss give it a nice woody depth, plus a touch of resinous glow from the amber. If you're looking for a fall scent that evokes sipping hot mulled wine or cider while taking a leisurely autumn stroll through the trees, I strongly recommend this one!

Customer service was kind and responsive! The package was packed with love and care, I loved the little details. Thank you so much for these lovely scents- I look forward to testing the scents I picked! Sending love and best wishes

Most important - it works so well!! Love the pumpkin scent - does not smell artificial. The balm is tinted, but it didn't seem to leave a noticeable color on my lips or cuticles. If you're used to applying a lot of gloss, just beware that you might have very autumnal-hued lips :) The packaging is adorable. It came with a note on how to quickly and easily tamp down the balm if you accidentally push it up too high. Does not leave a weird taste if/when I accidentally taste it.

Most important - it works so well!! The mint is subtle and the touch of vanilla sweetens the kick other minty-scented balms have. The packaging is adorable. It came with a note on how to quickly and easily tamp down the balm if you accidentally push it up too high. Does not leave a weird taste if/when I accidentally taste it.

Most important - it works so well!! I get more of a hint of cocoa than coffee in the scent, but either way it's not overpowering. The packaging is adorable. It came with a note on how to quickly and easily tamp down the balm if you accidentally push it up too high. Does not leave a weird taste if/when I accidentally taste it.

A very soft and sweet lavender scent! Reminds me of afternoon tea outings! Excited to use it as my fall scent.

I ordered the pick 5 sample sets, Fairy Frosting, Peachy Keen, Gingerbread Grove, Candy Cauldron, & Tea Party
I'm a gourmand lover and these scents were so incredible! My absolute favorite of them all were Peachy Keen, which smells like fresh ripened peaches, and Gingerbread Grove. The latter is the exact scent of a nostalgic Christmas. If you put these two together, you'll smell like a divine potpourri!
I'll definitely order again. These scents are something I've never experienced before, in the best way possible!
