New fragrance

[nick_m100]

Does anybody else think it would be awesome to have a book scented cologne?

And would you wear it?

And if it exists send me a link to where I can buy it!

Book scented cologne...

So you want to smell like paper and glue. The closest you *might* come to is Spanish Leather but that might not even work because it's too strong.

I prefer my old standby of Bay Rum.

If anyone even dealt in that scent, it would be one of these:

Truefitt and Hill http://www.truefittandhill.com

Taylor of Old Bond St http://www.tayloroldbondst.co.uk/

Geo F Trumper http://www.trumpers.com/

Crabtree and Evelyn http://www.crabtree-evelyn.com/

You're probably better served by getting a job in a bookshop and hoping that the scent from shelving books rubs off on you.

There are books and there are books.

New, hardbound, never read - light, urgent scent
New, trade paperback - crisper scent
New, mass market paperback - slightly acid, low notes
Garagesale find - outdoorsy, driveway tones
Local library booksale - a little spicey with warm undernotes
Forgotten too long in basement or attic - musty

I can see it now.

Him: Hey baby.

Her: Hey.

Him: What's up?

Her: Just studying.

Him: Oh really? *sidles up to her*

Her: *sniff* What is that I smell? It smells like a Barnes & Noble but without the Starbucks part.

Him: Yep. All books baby. All books.

Mmmmm....musty...I can do that for free by leaving my clothes in the basement for a few months.

I'll pass thank you very much.
