Why Do Books Smell So Good?
You know that good feeling when you walk into your library? Or how you press your nose into that new paperback book that you just bought? (Admit it, no shame here!)
There’s actually a science that goes behind that good book smell.
People do have preferences whether they like the smell of old or new books.
Old books have a sweet smell with notes of vanilla flowers and almonds, which is caused by the breakdown of chemical compounds in the paper. New books smell like they do because of the carious chemicals used when they are manufactured.
I know we buy the books because of the pretty cover and the amazing story inside but you can’t discount being a fan of the smell too!
