PERFUME OF THE WEEK: THE SMELL OF BOOKS
by Hazed
I love the smell of books. New books smell of fresh paper and ink, old books have a faintly musty smell that is redolent of their years.
I also love my Kindle; it’s as good as reading a paper book, and in some aspects even better. But I miss that smell.
But now, if I had the money to spare, I’d be able to buy a special new perfume intended for ebook readers. Paper Passion is a perfume that bottles the scent of a freshly printed books. It’s been created by perfumer Geza Schoen, who says, “You have a book, you open it, there’s a bottle inside and it smells of a book. It might be quirky, but the idea has a simplicity, a linearity.”
However, bottles of Paper Passion cost £70 each, so I think I’ll pass!
