The smell of an old book is the smell of
its death. The scent is caused by paper,
ink and adhesives breaking down. As a
book’s organic compounds degrade,
they release chemicals into the air that
we interpret as a combination of grass,
vanilla, and almond. Books also hang
on to odors that tell the story of their
history– like smoke, flowers pressed
between pages, or water damage. Source Source 2 Source 3
