Marginalia

Marginalia - Eau De Parfum

-The Author
-The Librarian
-The Antiquarian Bookseller

The dust stirs in the light as the heat kicks on for the first time in a year;
the aged spice of vintage and antique books being cracked open for the first time in decades;
taking a seat in a well-worn Naugahyde chair in a Brutalist library where angels may have walked, discussing love and their respective outlooks on the human condition.

Notes:
Dustlight
Vintage paperbacks
Ink
Binding glue
Naugahyde

Behind The Scenes:
Marginalia is inspired by numerous trips to used book shops, antique stores, and libraries on a grand scale all the way down to the private study (in this case, my grandfather's reading room where I used to sit and eat breakfast as a kid, on a leather ottoman from one of his trips to Egypt, stuffed with 40-year old newspapers). The library scenes from Wim Wenders' 1987 film 'Wings of Desire' were also an inspiration during the development of the formula.

Notable Materials:
Aldambre
Hay Absolute
Vanilla Planifolia Tincture

Fun fact:
Marginalia was used by the Institute of Art & Olfaction in their workshop on Book & Literary Character Fragrances
