Books by Geza Schoen, Gerhard Steidl, Tony Chambers, Günter Grass, Karl Lagerfeld

Sweet Tea Apothecaries sells Dead Writers Perfume , which promises to evoke the aroma of books old enough for their authors to have passed to the great writers’ retreat in the sky. Perfumer Christopher Brosius’s “ In the Library ” product line makes your home and body smell just like that. The high-end fragrance Paper Passion claims to capture the “unique olfactory pleasures of the freshly printed book,” though for roughly $200 per bottle it’s a lot cheaper to just buy a freshly printed book.
