As a forever librarian, I've always craved a scent that features the star of the library: the books! I toiled away in Hodges for many long hours when I was working on my PhD. This scent is to capture the feeling of pulling a forgotten tome from the shelf and cracking it open to discover the research that's evaded you. Fun fact: the photos for Hodges feature texts that were part of my dissertation!

To my nose this opens up like cold damp pages in a musty library. It’s beautiful. And the vanillic dry drown is so beautiful it makes me wish they sold this fragrance in larger sizes.
It really does smell like books
This is an amazing scent. I think the book scent is there, but blends nicely in with something else (maybe the vanilla and cedar wood?) so that it’s not incredibly prominent. Which I personally like- I love smelling books, but I don’t want to smell exactly like only a book all day. And this does last all day!
I can’t speak to the projection yet because I tried just a tiny spray first in case I didn’t care for it. Also, I’ve only had my order for a day so the notes will probably shift to some degree. But I’m certain I love it and it’s a cozy “safe” scent for my ND self that hasn’t caused any scent fatigue. This actually lasted on my skin through a shower without changing noticeably except to fade a bit. Love it, def want a full size.
