Old Books

Really nice. It's very warm and comforting, mysterious and sexy. It's as though I can project my personality through smell. I can't describe specific notes as it's blended so well that it's become its own note if that makes sense. Was finally able to get this as it's available at Saks 5th Ave now in USA. Blind bought and not disappointed. Have found my new signature.

OMG... what an experience! I’ve got the tingles... this is such a deep and warm scent, utterly addictive. The incense is luscious, edged with cedar, vetiver and patchouli. Wow! Bought direct from theperfumersstory dot com

A woody, earthy patchouli with some frankincense.The patch here doesn't smell 70's, but rather obscure and mysterious. It's the right amount, and it's mixed very well with the other ingredients. I love it!

Wonderful manly scent, a treat to wear everyday.

It definitely captures the smell of a shelf or library filled with books and leather covers, not sure how it would work as an everyday wear, it’s like a special effect smell

So disappointed in this one. Everything-- from the name/concept, to the notes, to the scent pyramid-- is right up my alley. I was hoping for something rich and deep, dusty, a little vanillic, earthy-dirty patchouli forward, but instead I get aftershave and deodorant. This reads like a standard masc spicy department store fragrance on my skin. Way too clean and buttoned-up. Huge miss for me.

Spot on! I was 100% transported to a huge ancient library filled with dusty leather bound books. Carefully turning the pages one by one I breath in the scent of century old paper. Just the right amount of patchouli not to go to aromatic combined with the incense and elemi and wood is a mix of magic.
