Yes, @Quaritch may have been in business for 174 years, but are their catalogues as SHINY as this? No? That's right, I DIDN'T THINK SO.

Went into the office last week to check on post and rediscovered these perfumes (I believe made for an ILAB congress a few years ago). As expected 'The Scent Of A Bookman' is quite rich and woody, perhaps with further scent notes only rare booksellers would be able to recognise?
