ITEM OF THE DAY Item of the Day: Paper Passion
Rachael Berkey

If you’ve stood anywhere near me recently, and heard the gentle whisper of, “My precious, my precious…” on the wind, it’s for good reason.

There is a book perfume in the world, gentle readers! A perfume that smells of freshly printed pages and ink and all my favorite things in a bottle.

I want it so much I can hardly stand it. It consumes my thoughts almost as much as the incredible novel I’m reading right now.

Paper Passion is the name of this lovely new fragrance. It’s a collaboration from perfumers Geza Schoen, designer Gerhard Steidl and Wallpaper* magazine, and it’s packaging was designed by Karl Lagerfeld and Steidl.

I haven’t caved and bought any yet because it’s pricey and I’m unemployed, but it is the first thing on my wish list! If anyone gets some, report on its awesomeness immediately.

  2. ThinkGeek has perfume that smells like books too, it’s $19.99, I don’t know if that counts as pricy but it seems reasonable to me ;) they also have one that smells like waffles and one that smells like a Sanrio store (Hello Kitty FTW)
