The perfect combo of very wearable and cozy meets realistic used book smell.
English Major by Sorce | Extrait de Parfum & Perfume Oil
The holy grail of photo-realistic used book smell. If you like to go to Half-Priced Books & smell the air as you slip through well-loved books, you need to smell this.

Paper or old books aren’t listed as notes, but the general vibe of ink blot smells like a slightly sweet, inked paper and is one of my favorites because of how easy it is to wear while still being unique.

This one is a bit more abstract, but it is reminiscent of sharpening your No. 2 pencil and writing on a fresh sheet of notebook paper. I love it!

On My Radar
Haven’t tried this one yet but the notes sound like the morning after a sleepover at Nana & Papa’s. Papa reads the paper every morning and Nana is making coffee and breakfast in the kitchen.

As a fan of The Magnus Archives, I simply must try this (and the notes sound amazing).

Earl grey tea, lavender cream, old paper, antique wood?! Say less.
Ink Drinker by Eldritch Whispers | Eau de Parfum & Perfume Oil
I’m not fully sold on this yet but ancient paper and pomegranate have me intrigued.

Ozone, mountain flowers, old paper?? I’m always on the search for something that smells like a rainy summer day in Colorado.
