FAQ
Why pair books and scents?
Scent is very powerful. It can take us to a memory of a time long passed. It can evoke a person, a meal, or an entire season. Scent can root us deeply in a moment, forever tying fragrance to experience. Our boxes create that connection. Using the paired fragrance products makes your reading experience unforgettable.
How are boxes created?
First, a book is chosen based on its atmospheric and immersive qualities. Books with a strong sense of place, lively characters, and vivid prose are great options for our boxes. Then, fragrances are chosen to evoke and complement the book's theme, setting, or characters.
What comes in a Bibliosmia Box?
Each box contains a book, 2-3 fragrance products (any combination of: candle, perfume oil, room spray, etc.), an info card with scent notes, and a handmade bookmark. Some boxes come with promotional material from the featured brands, if they have chosen to include it.
What is an artisan fragrance product?
Our fragrance products are chosen from a number of very talented makers. These artisans create their scents by hand. Some products are created specifically with the chosen book in mind and are included whenever possible to carry out the maker's inspiration. The products in our boxes are sourced from these small businesses as we hope to promote and showcase their talents.
What's so special about the bookmark?
The bookmark included with each box is handmade of pressed cotton and recycled fibers. This makes the bookmark more conducive to absorbing scent. Applying the liquid fragrance product of your choice to the bookmark will keep the scent close to the book, forever tying it to the experience of the story. This option is also great for those who choose not to wear the scent directly on their skin.
Is this a subscription box?
No, we are not a subscription box. You can purchase whenever you like and there is no sign-up. We are starting off with limited releases of each box and plan to keep a running stock of popular boxes in the future.
