SkinWalkers: 
book-related perfume
I’m not into perfume. I like natural scents, and am particular. But I love the names of these perfumes that Elizabeth mentioned over at Fuse #8! These perfumes almost make me wish I liked perfume. 
Fun, fun, fun!

Paperback (don’t you just love the name?) by Demeter is supposed to be “sweet and just a touch musty,” inspired by a dusty old copy of a Barbara Pym novel. How neat to have something inspired by a book! |

In the Library, a Christopher Brosius scent, inspired by his favorite novel, smells like an old book with Russian & Moroccan leather bindings, worn cloth and a hint of wood polish. I *love* what Christopher says about In the Library and scent: ” Whenever I read, the start of the journey is always opening the book and breathing deeply. Don’t you find there are few things more wonderful than the smell of a much-loved book? Newly printed books certainly smell very different from older ones. The ink is so crisp. I’ve also noticed that books from different periods & different countries also have very different smells.”Now that’s a true book lover. |
