   |  I used to have this perfume, but unfortunately, it was lost. It does have a pulpy, dusty smell, but also a sweet smell. Something like vanilla.It wasn't a strong scent at all, it was very faint on me. The vanilla would fade out relatively quickly on my skin, and you'd just smell a hint of paper and ink. The scent didn't last nearly as long on me as the other Pick Me Up spray I owned (Blue Hawaiian). Paperback was a fun, interesting scent to wear, but I don't think I'll buy another. 19 January 2009 |
   | My brother is a voracious reader so I bought this as a gag gift for him for his birthday. He loved it. At the party he sprayed it on and went around shoving his arm under everyone’s noses and ordering them to “Smell!” He actually wears it and he also uses it room spray in his home office. I must admit, I enjoy it, too: I intend to buy one for myself, which is a rare intention from me when it comes to Demeters. Of course that dusty, musty smell is the dominant one, and I can smell printing ink and a touch of that sharp acidy smell that comes from older, self-destructing paperbacks. Up ‘til now, it’s my second favorite Demeter after Dirt. These Demeter fragrances are fun. 09 March 2008 |
   |  Musty, but not like books or paper, more of a natural mustiness. Actually, it smells quite like their mushroom scent. 29 July 2006 |
 |  As a bibliophile, this was a must-try. Demeter's "Dust" rocked my world, but Paperback falls a little short. The two PMUs are remarkably similar, with the exception of the sweet tone that dominates Paperback. I don't quite notice the vanilla and/ or coconut notes that other reviewers have mentioned; it's more of an old pipe-tobacco note. Other notes: glue, ink/ toner, and cheap paper. This is a scent that you can only find in pulp novels-- not in more expensive publications. (After sniffing every paperback book in my house, I've decided that they must have used a Bantam book as their scent-model; none of the others have that same distinct sweet-glue and pulp-paper smell.)03 June 2006 |
