Bookish Aromas: Discover Your Favorite Perfume with This Literary Trial Box. This fragrance collection draws inspiration from the evocative scents of literature. The trial box includes 10 sample vials, each 2ml in size, with each vial inspired by a distinct literary work. These are my interpretations of what these works of fiction and it should be noted many artistic liberties were taken.

A few things to note:
-When buying perfume, what you smell in the bottle will be different than what it smells like on. The various perfume materials will interact differently to each individual wearer's natural body chemistry. Always smell a perfume on the skin not just the bottle.
-Also in that vein, the perfume will smell different as it evolves and dries down on the skin. The initial scent will not be the same after the dry down.
-Always test a perfume on a small patch of skin, if irritation or allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use.
-Store in a cool, dry place.
