The Perfume of New Books

Just when you thought that the aroma of freshly opened new books would disappear with the advent of e-book readers... Have no fear, the solution is here! For the modest price of $28.99, you can spray on the SMELL OF BOOKS anywhere. Check it out here. 



Because there's nothing like that scent of unpacking a virgin copy of a desired novel, spreading the pages for the first time and appreciating the bouquet that wafts from the pages. 


That's because paper is made from lignin which has polymers that make it smell like vanilla. Combined with fresh ink and glue, a new book becomes irresistable.

So you can rest assured that smell which you associate with opening a book for the first time won't be a thing of the past. As Nick Bilton put it in his New York Times tech blog: "I immediately felt a sense of nostalgia that I haven't felt in a long time. The scent of physical books - the paper, the ink, the glue -can conjure up memories of a summer day spent reading on a beach, a fall afternoon in a coffee shop, or an overstuffed chair by a fireplace as rain patters on a windowsill."
