The Sweet Smell of Dusty Books…

The most popular scent in perfumer Christopher Brosius’s “I Hate Perfume” collection is “In the Library,” which smells like old, dusty books. “My work is really about things that really do smell wonderful, but don’t have a lot of the properties that commercial perfumes do,” he said. NPR’s All Things Considered noted that Brosius “blends and bottles all of his scents by hand in his workshops. The process may be labor-intensive, but it allows him to create singular scents that can’t be mass-produced.”
