Book +
by Commodity
Book + is a deeply woody, smoky, and musky fragrance that leans into a comforting, intimate character with strong notes of cedar, sandalwood, and a velvety musk. It carries a rich, slightly green and herbal opening—often described as reminiscent of eucalyptus or dill pickle—though this initial note fades relatively quickly. Once the green freshness settles, the scent reveals a warm, dry, and softly leathery backbone with a persistent woody presence, carrying hints of black tea and a subtle powderiness. Its complexity and quiet projection give it a personal, skin-like quality, making it feel like a close companion rather than a bold statement. Despite its pleasant character, it performs weakly on skin, with moderate longevity and moderate sillage, often requiring clothing to hold its scent.
