This crisp, woody fragrance tips its hat to the Hemingways and Fitzgeralds of the world, conjuring the warmth of a quiet moment curled up with a good book. Its complex blend of sparkling Bergamot, crisp Eucalyptus and warm Sandalwood results in an unexpectedly fresh scent.
Comparisons
We started with Book Expressive: a warm yet unexpectedly fresh woody scent built around Cedarwood and Sandalwood.
We then infused black tea and skin musk to place an emphasis on freshness for an aromatic Personal rendition.
We finished with a bravado, an amplified Bold rendition with the addition of smoky, velvety musks.
Whenever he's wearing Book, my husband is constantly being stopped by people asking what scent he's wearing. Most people haven't yet heard of Commodity - so I'm always happy to introduce someone new to the brand we love so much!

Smells great
I do however think the spray needs to be improved. One broad spray would be great.

So glad to have this back in my life!
I used to wear this fragrance when it was available at Sephora back in the day! I love how unique it is, and appreciate the balance in the notes. I don’t find it to be overwhelming, nor do others around me. I love how thoughtful the story is behind Book which adds a special meaning to the experience.

Worth the wait!
Been waiting for over a year to get Book. Just received and compared to a an atomizer I had from OG. Smells identical. Have not worn yet so not sure of longevity. Waiting til it gets cooler here. Smells amazing. Also Erica was awesome helping me with some assistance I needed. Glad ur back! C.

love the scent but it does not last
I'm in love with the scent!
Moreover, my son got hooked on it as well. So we have our favorite mother-son perfume lol.
My only complain is the scent does not last as long as when i used "book" sample from 2019...
Some people wear fragrances only for themselves—preferring scents that are discrete, close to the skin, only to be noticed by the ones they allow close. Others prefer a statement fragrance—scents that fill the room with their presence, to be noticed by everyone else. And of course, there are the people that fall somewhere in between—preferring scents that will land them compliments within their immediate radius and without overwhelming any space.
With this in mind, each Commodity fragrance is available in three different Scent Space concentrations—Personal, Expressive, and Bold—so that you can find your favorite fragrance in your preferred Scent Space.
Select a Scent Space:
Personal-
Ideal if you prefer a subtle, intimate fragrance only to be noticed by you and the ones you allow close. These lighter, molecular renditions only have a whisper of their 'Expressive' counterpart and embody the concept of less is more. Soft, ethereal and luxurious, there's no need to worry about how others are experiencing your fragrance.
Expressive
The Expressive collection marks our starting point. This collection is considered by many to be the perfect balance of longevity and projection. These fragrances will make a statement without overpowering any space. To be noticed by you and the many around you, these are your effortless, everyday scents.
Bold
There is no modesty when it comes to the Bold collection. These are amplified renditions of their 'Expressive' counterpart and embody the concept of more is more. Strong, statement scents that will grab attention and make a statement as they fill the room with your presence, these are for you and everyone else.
Warm and inviting, this scent opens with notes of Eucalyptus and Bergamot. Then, as the minutes pass and the scent comes to life, you'll begin to notice amyris, cedarwood, and sandalwood. For the final chapter, amber, vetiver and musk bring about a dramatic close.
Try this fragrance in a Discovery Kit
The Expressive Discovery Kit contains samples of six signature fragrances. An ideal way to experiment with fragrance and find the one which speaks to you.
"My most cherished scent memories as a child were in the library experiencing real books which created a world of wonder and exploration. Living now in a technological world filled with iPads, Commodity Book takes you into the New York Public Library to recapture the experience of yesterday: turning the pages and breathing in the smell of dry paper mingling in with the open fresh air."
