".... a "library-scented" perfume — "old English novel, leather and just a
hint of wood polish" — created by a Brooklyn-based artist-perfumer." This sentence from the reading kind of weirded me out. Why would anyone want to smell like that? Nostalgia? Maybe.
I can still remember the smell of the local library I would go to as a youngin and I would not want to wear that scent as a perfume. Smells like... doctors office, with a hint of rubber, and a splash of old people. But what ever floats your boat, I guess.
Will people sometime be wearing "e-book scented" perfume because we'll go through a revolution where e-books will be a thing of the past and be sought out as "vintage"?
What would that smell like?...
Metal.
really hilarious — the absurdity of nostalgia matches the absurdity of ... sentimentalizing the future. e-book perfumes!
