Old Books Fragrance Review

5/21/2020

This is a unique fragrance for sure! It is like you opened that cover on an old musty book. It is very minerally, and a little bitter. This is one of those fragrances that people love or hate. There is very little in-between. I am a lover of it for home fragrances with some help from other fragrances. This is one of those fragrances that needs friends with it to shine at it's best. Just about anything you might find in a library works really well. In-store we see this one used when making a thoughtful gift for a book lover.

Old Books Fragrance

5 blends to try with Old Books

Leather = The perfect encyclopedia scent.
Leather + Mahogany + Peppercorn = Think fancy corner office in the 1920's.
Tobacco Vanilla + Campfire = The Old Books fragrance adds just a touch of a minerally back note in this blend.
Bubblegum = Smells like childhood.
Smoked Ginger + Bamboo Musk = This is a soapy and masculine blend. A touch exotic.

Hey there, Scent & Sip team! The "Old Books" fragrance review, and I have to say, I'm impressed! As a book lover myself, I was immediately drawn in by the idea of capturing the scent of old books in a fragrance. Your review was detailed and informative, giving me a clear sense of what to expect from the fragrance. I appreciated the way you described the different notes and how they came together to create a unique and nostalgic scent.

I also loved the personal touch you added to the review, sharing your own memories of reading old books and how the fragrance evoked those memories for you. It made the review feel more authentic and relatable. As someone who often seeks out fragrances that evoke certain emotions or memories, I appreciate when reviewers share their personal experiences with a scent.

Overall, I think your review of the "Old Books" fragrance was spot on. You captured the essence of the scent and made me feel like I could almost smell it through my screen. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more of your reviews in the future!
