A scent as comforting as snuggling up in your coziest blanket while rain trickles down your bedroom window as you slowly turn the pages of your favorite book is what makes up the fragrance we call Novel. 

Subtly sweet, dry, and warmly atmospheric. The wood notes and the pepper (which is mild) combine to evoke that smell of old paper and binding glue. Meanwhile, the dusty vanilla is the beautiful fiction of this Novel that although is not sweet.  It’s the fantasy itself that is; the fantasy of whiling away the hours in some old-world library full of secluded nooks, lamps, and coziness.

Saved My Memories

This was exactly what I was looking for. The perfume this is based on (Replica's "Whispers in the Library") has been my signature scent since it was launched and I have many beautiful, important memories connected to it. It was discontinued this year and the sealed bottle I'd purchased last year to savour had already turned sour in the package.

Devastated, I started looking for alternatives and found this. It is identical after it develops! I'm so, so happy with this purchase and will absolutely be buying again.

Please, please never discontinue this scent! Thank you!

Just not for me

Thought it smell a little more lighter, but it’s very strong. It’s a nice scent , just not for me

Love it

I wasn’t sure if I’d love this one or not but it’s great! It’s soft and vanilla-y and smells like a cozy library.

Louise
Wow!

This was recommended to me as a dupe of WITL and I’d say it’s even better as it lasts longer. I absolutely love it and recommend it for anyone that’s looking for a soft and grown up vanilla that has depth and a darkness to it.

Wow

One of my favorites so far. Never got to try “whispers in the library” but going into this one blind was a treat. It’s sweet but not too sweet with a nice woody undertone and just seems like a great all around all year long scent. Between shadow leather and this one I think I found my scents. Please don’t ever stop making this one.

Perfect 100/10

I was absolutely devastated when Whispers in the Library was discontinued. Finding this was such a relief! This is such a perfect representation of that scent! I notice that the scent stays on my clothes just like the Replica original scent did, and that is a huge win - I never get tired of it. Please, please, please never discontinue this perfume! Can't wait to order my next bottle.

Great replacement for the discontinued Whispers in the Library. Nice staying power also.

Amazing- Best Buy yet

Wore it today and lasted for hours! This has to be my new signature. I'll be getting another bottle hands down. Alt is hit or miss but definitely hit with this one.
