15ml perfume with atomizer

Vellichor (neologism) The pensive nostalgia and temporality of used bookstores; the feeling evoked by the scent of old books or paper.

A fragrance for deciphering ancient manuscripts in a wood-paneled study, with a cup of hot tea and a pipe full of fine burley on the desk, waiting to be lit. Very tobacco forward, Vellichor slowly reveals the rich scent of old paper, along with notes of suede and malty tea. A tiny touch of rose otto adds a hint of floralcy for lift and diffusion. A big dose of mitti attar, a co-distillation of sandalwood and clay earth, grounds the perfume in an ancient space. This is the perfume Indiana Jones would wear if he were actually a good archeologist.

As wood-based paper decomposes, it emits a faint sweet smell caused by vanillin and benzaldehyde, among other chemicals. This fragrance honors that classic smell, and the feeling that it evokes. Extremely long lasting for a botanical perfume, bottled at EDP strength.
