    I cannot tell you how disappointed I was with this perfume. I absolutely LOVE the smell of old paperbacks. I will go down to my dad's library from time to time and just smell the old books. I love...

    This doesn't smell anything like paperback books in my opinion. It smells like vanilla, cinnamon, and some kind of potpourri from the 80s.

    Paperback smells like book glue to me, but the initial chemical-sweet note is a bit overwhelming. As soon as that sweetness fades, the perfume smells like baby powder. Mixing it with the Dust PMU,...

    I love this scent but it's a hint too sweet. To me it smells like dust and sweet glue/ink/whatever is sweet in old paperbacks. I mix it with dust sometimes to give it a more dusty smell. This is a...

    Remember in "Parent Trap" (the original with Haley Mills - I never saw the remake so I don't know if this part is in the new one as well) when Susan goes to Boston and meets her grandfather for the...

    When I first sniffed it, I immediately thought of the old library in my little town. It reminded me of old musty books. The only downside, is at times I can sort of smell something that reminds me...

    My boyfriend enjoys perusing the books at our local chapters store being an avid reader and introvert of sorts. I purchased this for him as a 'novel' (no pun intended) gift idea. It turns out he...

    As a bibliophile, this was a must-try. Demeter's "Dust" rocked my world, but Paperback falls a little short. The two PMUs are remarkably similar, with the exception of the sweet tone that dominates...

    Surprisingly memorable (and long lasting!) fragrance from Demeter. I agree with previous reviewers that this doesn't smell at all like a book - old or new - however, it does somehow conjure up...

    I like this Demeter fragrance. It doesn't smell exactly like I imagined it would (I was expecting something more musty, like old paper), but it's nice all the same. I'm a bookworm, so this is a...

    Very masculine smell, sort of like your grandfather. It has very strong chemical overtones to it, though. I was hoping for that sweet, almost chocolatey smell that old books have, but instead...

    This really does smell like a paperback, somehow. Yet it has a sweet undertone that makes it wearable. I'm more of a foody-scent person, so I swapped this away, but I already miss it, it's so...

    This one is interesting. Definitely a more masculine scent, and more complex than most Demeters. I supposed it *could* smell like a book... but the alcohol is a little overpowering, and the dry...
