There’s a certain magic in the air when the seasons turn and the school library transforms into a treasure trove of glittery bookmarks, scratch-and-sniff stickers, and glossy paperback dreams. You clutch your paper order form like a map to secret wonders, the scent of sharpened pencils and freshly cracked spines mingling with the faint sweetness of lunchbox apples and something warm, familiar—like soft dough and stories yet to be told. Book Fair is a cozy exhale of childhood enchantment, where imagination lingers in every page.

Love it! Smells nothing like a book fair lol but smells amazing and will def be buying again :)
Incredible event concept. Gorgeous and thoughtful packaging. Not sure how much I'll wear it.
So fun and nostalgic
I wasn’t sure how pencil shavings would come through in a perfume but here we are! This is such a unique fragrance and I’m totally obsessed with it. I only wish that the apple scent lasted a little longer, to me it dries down to just the sharp woody smell of the books/pencil shavings and the warmth of the cashmere musk (which I didn’t think I’d like but I love). The day this perfume came in the mail I immediately ordered a discovery set of more scents. I can tell seller is now my go-to for fragrances! 🫶
Smells like fresh apple slices, glossy paperback books and cashmere musk. It smells like the nicest teacher you've ever had. I love it more than I expected to!
Let customers speak for us
from 106 reviewsBeautiful bottle and scent! My daughter loved it.
I absolutely love The Raven. It starts out bright and juicy with the blood orange and apple, then quickly warms up with a little spice and pepper. As it wears, it turns deeper and cozier with tobacco, brandy, vanilla, and a soft smokiness that feels really comforting but still bold. It’s not overly sweet or overpowering—just rich, moody, and addictive. One of those scents I keep reaching for when I want something a little dark and mysterious.
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law, and she absolutely loved it.
This smells just like warm buttery cookies and the little cloud of powder when you open a hot chocolate packet. It's very sweet, so I recommend this to heavy gourmand lovers, but I am really happy to add this winter scent to my collection <3 not to mention the longevity, I was smelling this on myself the next DAY 👏
I am a marzipan lover. This is my dream fragrance! It sits beautifully on skin or fabric. it is so rich and gourmand im smelling myself all day. it really does smell like marzipan or frangipane with no chemical underlayer or strong perfume aroma altering it, just rich, pure marzipan. these perfumes get better the longer they macerate, every day i use it is better. if you love marzipan or almond smell, 100% get this perfume.
Purchased as a christmas gift for my best friend and I know she will love it!
This perfume was a part of my Christmas gift this year. At first whiff, it smells like a spicy citrus. On my skin, it has very ambery, woody, and spicy notes. It reminds me of being a kid and walking around door to door on Halloween, the smell of the cool autumn air and crunchy leaves under our feet.

This is both refreshing and grounding. I smell the blood orange at first and then the herbal notes like sage and clove. I like it, reminds me both of winter spices but I think it would also feel invigorating for warmer weather.
I got this perfume as part of a Christmas gift. To me, it smells like a very boozy, spicy and mildly fruity incense. It definitely captures that dark, witch's familiar vibe. <3
The sample sizes are sooo generous. I actually ended up ordering full sizes of the fragrances immediately.
I got this scent as a part of a Christmas gift. First off, the attention to detail is amazing. This perfume comes with little candies inside of the bottle, it's absolutely adorable. Secondly, the scent... it smells JUST like a bucket of Halloween candy! The dry down is a delicious chocolatey almond smell.
Perfumes smelt amazing, packaging was so cute loved everything so much
I chose London Fog, Matcha Magnolia and Frangipane. Each scent was amazing! For London Fog, I hoped for a stronger tea scent, but lavender and bergamot really come through. Matcha Magnolia lingers for such a long time which is so so nice. I can really smell the matcha, it’s like a creamy matcha cake. Frangipane is such a wonderful almond scent that lasts a long time as well. I also got a tiny freebie sample of Alpine Buttercup. It’s a very nice sweet scent, though it does have a slight “granny” quality to it. Not unpleasant though, just intriguing and complex. All in all I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m excited to try some others before committing to a full size!!
