Cathedral Library 15ml

Along an old stone corridor, imagine the carved oak doors opening, and the aroma of 350 years of accumulated books, wood, leather, incense, pipe tobacco and oil lamps. Cathedral Library was first made for a university research project, and is released because we were asked so very nicely and often.

It has the vanilla aroma of old pages. (Paper made from wood degrades from lignin to vanillin, to give the unmistakable aroma of ancient books.) Wooden shelves and floors polished smooth, smoke, leather and wafts of incense compose their olfactory setting.

INGREDIENTS: Alcohol (denat), Parfum, Linalool, Limonene, Citral, Geraniol, Benzyl Benzoate.

“I am absolutely besotted with this one - love the papery vanilla vibes!” - Madeleine Thorne

“This is the cozy library dream scent I had no idea I needed in my life! It’s absolutely incredible!” Allison Brader

“Woody, smoky, boozy vanilla, fading down to books, old books with an aroma that is almost dust, or leather, or old lace, or wax polish or pipe smoke or wooden furniture or stone walls, but not quite, paper and ink transmuted into something else, knowledge offered up in a waft of fragile sweetness more subtle than incense, tempting as chocolate to those with curious minds. Another gift of bottled nostalgia from Sarah, crafted especially for us book-nerds, fabulous stuff!” - Sylvia Glanville-Hughes

“This is so lovely; all of the things it says it is, more, a softness too. An absolute delight, and I am thrilled to have a nice big vial with many sprays.” - Jackie Beim

“I absolutely adore this.” - Jayne Newark
