Questions
What people ask about this scent
- What should a Bibliotheque alternative actually have?
- Stone fruit over leather. A leather candle without the peach and plum will smell like a jacket rather than a library, and a fruity candle without the leather base will smell like a bath product. The tension between the two is the scent.
