LeatheryWhat does #306 In the Library smell like?
Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and wears quietly. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide.
The notes read as one whole: a leathery, woody base with the dry, earthy, powdery feel of old paper on top. A sweet accord softens the harder leather notes, and a synthetic tone sits in the background. Elsha 1776 and Demeter Fragrance Library Paperback have a close profile.
