We are constantly bombarded with sensory information
Which ones to ignore or give our attention
Which music do we amplify
Which sounds to muffle
Sounds of birds or sirens
Smell of roses or foul street garbage
Which spaces lift your spirits up
Which books you can't give up?
Scents just like books and music
Transport you to places
Take you on adventures
Bring back memories
But what happens when
your scent evokes stories
by great literary writers?
Which would you choose
to captivate your senses?
Perfume and scents inspired by books

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
-- Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre
"Jane Eyre" is a romantic union of the bashful rose, elegant bergamot and the subtle clary sage. This is a modest, sophisticated and tasteful fragrance, named after the famous novel "Jane Eyre" written by Charlotte Bronte in 1847, and its protagonist, admired by generations of readers for her dignity and intelligence. "Jane Eyre"'s light aroma evokes enjoying a steamy cup of Earl Grey tea laced with rose water."
“Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
“While there is life there is hope. I beg to assert...that as long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.”
― Jules Verne, Journey to the Center of the Earth
"Inspired by Jules Vernes, at the beginning of the century great discoveries. The infinity of the ocean has transported him to very distant lands, inspiring him with extraordinary adventure novels. Inspired by the father of literary science fiction, this eau de parfum breathes its aromatic scents reminiscent of the Hesperides, like a sea breeze on a wild moor".
"At age 65, when famed explorer and author Philip Sava was given less than a year to live, he set off from his home in Madagascar for parts unknown. Leaving all his belongings behind, he set off on foot, hopped a freighter across the Indian Ocean, and wandered into the Bangladeshi wilderness. His journey, which lasted over a decade, took him through Nepal and Tibet where his exploration turned spiritual and into rural China where months of solitude resulted in some of the most confessional observations ever committed to paper. This is the story of a man grappling with the meaning of life as he grasps at life’s last vestiges."
"So that man thought that the important thing was to have, and did not know that the important thing is to be"- Oscar Wilde
