Lagerfeld’s Book-Scented Perfume

Thanks to my friend, author Hannah Holmes, for calling my attention to Chanel’s Karl Lagerfeld’s plans to launch a book-scented perfume. According the press reports: “Paper Passion, which will be sold inside a hardcover book with the pages hollowed out to hold the flacon, will be developed with Berlin perfumer Geza Schön, who told the paper that ‘the fragrance will have a fatty note,’ probably along the lines of linoleum, and that he was taking his inspiration from the smell of printed and unprinted paper.”

I write a book on Chanel’s No. 5 perfume. Lagerfeld is inspired to create a book-scented perfume. Coincidence? LOL.
