This crisp, woody fragrance tips its hat to the Hemingways and Fitzgeralds of the world, conjuring the warmth of a quiet moment curled up with a good book. Its complex blend of crisp Eucalyptus, warm Sandalwood, and crisp Cedarwood results in an unexpectedly fresh scent.

Not as fragrant as I thought.
I received a sample size in my allure beauty box and loved it! The scent stayed on me all day so I ordered a big size. However, I am a bit disappointed. I feel like I only smell the perfume the first 5 minutes after I put it on.
Hi AnaLisa! We suggest aiming for your pulse points, as these are warmer areas of the body that act as natural diffusers when emitting your scent. Also, avoid the front of your neck, as this is a prime location for nose blindness! An unscented moisturizer prior to application is also a great way to lock in the scent! Please email customerservice@commodityfragrances.com with any questions or concerns!

Received a sample in my Allure Beauty box and ran to purchase a larger size!
Conjuring the nostalgic, crisp woody essence of Book with Sandalwood and Cedarwood, this lighter rendition puts the emphasis on freshness with the addition of aromatic Black Tea. A soft aromatic, woody scent that reads close to the skin.
I ordered the travel size, and when it arrived I immediately went online and bought the full size. I love it. If you have decadent fantasies of rolling around on a mountain of paperbacks while drinking earl grey, but don't want the papercuts, you should buy this.

A Beautiful Interpretation
As a former librarian, and life-long book lover, the scent of a collection of books is wonderful to me. This fragrance captures that scent.

Perfect Scent
Got a sample from ScentBird and my man is ecstatic to have found his signature scent! He gets compliments everywhere we go, and I get to smell it every day! Wonderful product!
A bravado of Book's Cedarwood and Sandalwood woody essence amplified with smoky, velvety Musks. The herbaceous, dry wood lingers with a subtle smokiness for an inimitable signature trail.
I’ve been in love with this perfume since it was mentioned in a book like 3 years ago and I’ve been using the tester kit for special events since and now that I can splurge for the real bottle I truly adore this perfume it’s my signature scent and I’ll wear it until I die

LOVE THIS SCENT
This version of Book smells like the OG Book, love love love!
Some people wear fragrances only for themselves—preferring scents that are discrete, close to the skin, only to be noticed by the ones they allow close. Others prefer a statement fragrance—scents that fill the room with their presence, to be noticed by everyone else. And of course, there are the people that fall somewhere in between—preferring scents that will land them compliments within their immediate radius and without overwhelming any space.
With this in mind, each Commodity fragrance is available in three different Scent Space concentrations—Personal, Expressive, and Bold—so that you can find your favorite fragrance in your preferred Scent Space.
Select a Scent Space:
Personal-
Ideal if you prefer a subtle, intimate fragrance only to be noticed by you and the ones you allow close. These lighter, molecular renditions only have a whisper of their 'Expressive' counterpart and embody the concept of less is more. Soft, ethereal and luxurious, there's no need to worry about how others are experiencing your fragrance.
Expressive
The Expressive collection marks our starting point. This collection is considered by many to be the perfect balance of longevity and projection. These fragrances will make a statement without overpowering any space. To be noticed by you and the many around you, these are your effortless, everyday scents.
Bold
There is no modesty when it comes to the Bold collection. These are amplified renditions of their 'Expressive' counterpart and embody the concept of more is more. Strong, statement scents that will grab attention and make a statement as they fill the room with your presence, these are for you and everyone else.
Notes
The fragrance notes you smell will evolve throughout your wear. In other words: Your "First" impression when you spray the scent will differ from what you "Then" smell 10 minutes later or what you "Finally" smell in the hours to come.

Smells like you (but better), and keeps a scent close to the skin.

The Inspiration
"My most cherished scent memories as a child were in the library experiencing real books which created a world of wonder and exploration. Living now in a technological world filled with iPads, Commodity Book takes you into the New York Public Library to recapture the experience of yesterday: turning the pages and breathing in the smell of dry paper mingling in with the open fresh air."—Ketrin Leka
