This is a very sweet library. Kind of like Marie Antoinette eating petit fours with her legs up on the chaise longue, smearing sugar icing on the arm rests. After she’s had enough of all the sweets, she starts to flip through a book of fairy tales – can you smell it? Notes of dry old paper and leather bindings start to drift through the room and mix with her powdered wig. And they hang in the air for hours while Madame sleeps and dreams of her gardener. This is a nice, soft leather scent with hints of vanilla that turns into a soft skin scent. But there is a certain note that irritates me, that I can’t place. Maybe it’s the wood polish Christopher Brosius mentions in the description of his perfume. Must be that. Sounds weird? It is. But I like it. A special scent made in Brooklyn.

I highly recommend Christopher Brosius’ Manifesto on the CB I hate perfume website.
