From the brand - "This composition is designed to evoke the character of the exquisite library of the Manor. Ample wood shelving displaying countless works, primarily bound in leather, is found on all four walls of the library. A fireplace on the west wall features an intricately carved rosewood mantle and heavy dark wood wainscoting adorns the walls beneath the book laden shelves. Dying embers impart a soft smokiness in the room and the scent of aged paper and a worn brown leather armchair melds with the rich leather and wood notes."
Solstice Scents Library Reviews
Fragrantica - "Nice atmospheric scent that is extremely accurate for its scent profile. Reminds me of my grandmas dusty shelf filled with Catholic theology"
Fragrantica - "for me its like cracking a leather bound spine and shoving your nose right against the pages.
Fragrantica - "what a brilliant blend! I love leather and to be fair, this is is mostly about the leather. It is a boozy, moist, sweet leather. The woody notes I am unable to distinguish, however, feels as though there was a touch of oud too. Not sure about the paper note...if I really force myself to the idea, then it's a maybe. However, like I said it is more about the leather. Think maybe some resins/balsamics could be the reason for the sweetish glowy background. It is mid-weight and unisex in my opinion. Love it."
Fragrantica - "The dry down, the dry down! I would actually say that about most of the Solstice Scents line because they all can be great big banging nosefuls at first. But, oh my, the dry down. Yes, it smells as I imagine a library in a stately home would smell, or at least how I'd imagine them to smell in my dreams of stately manor home libraries (yes, I have those dreams - don't judge!)."
Fragrantica - "Great leather and dusty paper accord. It smells like a nice soft leather bound book. The dry down reminds me of sandalwood and cedar. I love how sharp the opening is but it quickly transforms into dry woods and vanilla. Very wearable and great performance. If your a fan of leather scents this is a must try for the uniqueness alone."
