What does Bibliothèque (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and leisure and evening wear lead the occasions. More voters read it as feminine, though a fair share call it masculine.

It opens with plum and cinnamon, where fruity sweetness meets spice. In the heart, leather and violet add a soft floral touch, and the base of patchouli, birch wood and vanilla dries down woody and sweet.
