I'd never even think of blending my own but would love to buy this scent. I can remember when I was little and the JCPenney catalog would come in the mail I would love the smell of that. Not sure if that's an old book smell but I loved it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfintoni Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I just got my samples from Lebermuth today and it included leather bound books. I like it very subtle on the leather. I am thinking I may just try the recipe above of almond, grass and vanilla and add a touch of leather. I will let you know how it comes out. I tried just the three fragrances but I was a bit too heavy on the almond. Karen in MA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incendia Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I wonder how long it will take before someone comes out with a Laptop, iPad, or Kindle scent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incendia Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) OMG - this already exists. But I think they are using an alternate meaning for the word 'kindle'. https://s7d1.scene7.com/is/image/BedBathandBeyond/30858913103402p?$478$ Edited March 17, 2017 by Incendia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 23 hours ago, Moonstar said: Im confused. How does almond, grass and vanilla translate to the smell of old leather books ? It doesn't. It contributes to the smell of paper. And even then "contributes" is the keyword. The aroma chemicals of paper have the same base chemicals that is aldo found in Almond FO, FCGrass FO and many vanilla fragrances. Combined (the aroma chems) they add characteristics of paper. The above recipe (if you can call it that) has been grossly simplified. I provided a better recipe on another thread if you want a leatherbound old book smell. And even that formula is more pleasant and avant guard perfumey to realistic old dusty books. Results may vary. See store for details...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you this: OOB the Pot Roast is STRONG (as in I had to put it in a baggie and tuck it away) and it's accurate. Other ones that smell accurate OOB are Gasoline, Magazine, Buttered Toast, Light Beer, and Beef Jerky. I'm sorry I can't be of help yet. I'm a photographer and the busy season started, so I couldn't get into the project. When I do, I will update. If you do, please share!

The underlying old book smell is vanilla, but not in the sense we're used to. It's vanilla ex lignin, I've been told, which is derived from some kind of paper pulp. All of those scents are very, very subtle. We're so used to having almonds and vanilla and grass up in our faces as stand-alones. It's hard to explain, but they're all in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
