Well, now you can. Paper Passion, a scent by the highly regarded Geza Schoen, Gerhard Steidl, and Wallpaper* magazine, apparently smells like new books!
This would be particularly good for those kindle lovers who miss the papery stench that used to waft about their person.
The packaging of the perfume (designed by Karl Lagerfeld) is a book with a secret section carved out for the bottle to fit in to. Amazing. 
I love the idea of this, but for £68 I'm not sure if I'd rather just rub myself down with a couple of proof copies before heading out.
What do you think? Would you buy Paper Passion? And while we're on the subject of reeking like books (I'm not sure how long it will be before it comes up again), which book would you most like to smell of?
Thanks to Lynette Holmes for telling us about this!
