The aroma of books is an
evocative blend of nostalgia and discovery. Older books often carry a rich,
earthy scent, a combination of lignin in the paper breaking down, reminiscent
of vanilla or almond. Newer books, in contrast, exude a crisp, clean fragrance,
often mingled with hints of fresh ink and glue. This distinct smell, whether
musty or fresh, has a unique power to transport readers to other worlds before
the first page is even turned.
