An elegant, slightly decrepit hotel

Posted by Robin on 11 June 2015 3 Comments

As if someone who smells very good was just sitting in a leather chair, in a room full of carefully hand-bound books in an elegant, slightly decrepit hotel, situated in the back street of a European city.

An anonymous fan describes the smell of Byredo's Bibliothèque candle. From Aromas Are the New Frontier for Interior Design at Observer.

    That sounds just perfect! And about the best kind of hotel.

      I admit it made me want the candle, although it’s probably too sweet for me (vanilla, leather, peach, plum). And agree about the hotel!

      Cicero said, “If you have a library and a garden, you have everything you need.” It would be fun to have a range of scents of Different Libraries and Different Gardens…
      It does make me want this candle for sure.
