Instagram has been pushing book-themed candles at me.
Some of the scents of books are nice, when they're associated with actual books---the odor of binding glue, paper, maybe leather...
Dubious about how they'd translate into a candle, I looked more closely. Most sound pleasant
enough ("Bah Humbug" is fir tree, fig, pepper & orange).
But their springtime offering “Book Cellar” is described as smelling of DIRT--BASEMENT--VANILLA BEAN.
Dirt is okay––maybe recast as "earth"–– but BASEMENT?
Does anyone buy this???
They should do “Reading in Bed”—
odor of dirty socks, dust mites, and your choice of dog breath or cat butt.
