Cathedral Library | 4160 Tuesdays

An atmospheric, bookish fragrance - old paper, polished wood, leather and incense, built to smell like 350 years of accumulated books.

Cathedral Library was originally created for a university research project before customer
demand brought it into the main collection. It captures a very specific, very literary kind of
nostalgia: carved oak doors opening onto old stone corridors lined with ancient books, wood polish, leather, pipe tobacco and oil lamps.

This scent from our Modern British Masters collection is our most conceptual, story-driven fragrance, ideal for anyone who wants their perfume to smell like an idea rather than a flower.

Story

Cathedral Library belongs to a growing niche genre often called "book perfumes", fragrances inspired by old libraries and antique books. The vanilla-like scent of old book pages is genuinely accurate to how paper actually ages — as wood-based paper degrades, its lignin content breaks down into vanillin, which is exactly the aroma this fragrance is built around.
