i feel like kramer in that episode of seinfeld where he pitches "the beach" to calvin klein fragrances and they deny him and then make an exact replica for sale. i have been dreaming of this fragrance and now it is here!

i love the smell of old books and have told many people how i wanted to find or make a fragrance that smelled of them. this stuff is on my christmas wish list for sure. i would be in heaven.

there are also many other unique fragrances at this site. maybe you'll find one you'd always dreamed of.

Love ambience of old books & warm libraries, but hate mustiness. As a fragrance dabbler, I do appreciate the concept behind the allure of scent from unconventional places though.

                  books, particularly old ones. I cannot pass a second hand bookshop 
                  and rarely come away without at least one additional volume. 
                  I now have quite a collection…
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?

                  bindings: leather is marvelous of course but I find a peculiar 
                  pleasure in musty worn clothbound books as well. Perhaps just 
                  a hint of mildew…
The main note in this scent was copied from one of my favorite 
                  books – I happened to find a signed first edition of this 
                  novel a few years ago in London. I was more than a little excited 
                  because there were only ever a hundred in the first place!</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbihateperfume.com/CBinthelibrary.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.cbihateperfume.com/img/3EC97FA3-8F6A-44D4-BB05-9D9E683542FC" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbihateperfume.com/CBinthelibrary.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.cbihateperfume.com/img/9BC03610-DA36-46B1-83DE-049602FA7AF3" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbihateperfume.com/CBinthelibrary.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.cbihateperfume.com/img/99EE9405-D2F4-4FD7-BDF2-4BCC902DA3C1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cbihateperfume.com/CBinthelibrary.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.cbihateperfume.com/img/41988E27-88BC-45B6-999B-F3BD1C24A17F" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C1152DEA-C357-4EDF-8B90-32AB81C3296C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
