Commodity Book is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Ketrin Leka. Book opens with Bergamot, Cedar, Rosewood, and Eucalyptus, settles into a heart of Amyris, Amber, and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Suede, Musk, and Sandalwood. Commodity's Book carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Book is either a creamy, cosy hug of woody freshness or a jarring dill pickle in a bottle. If you're a Santal 33 fan, you might just find a cheaper alternative in this woody-aromatic number, but be warned, not everyone gets the memo.

Its moderate projection and fresh, woody profile make it suitable for casual wear and daily use. It's a bit too divisive and understated for formal events, and while fresh, its woody depth isn't ideal for vigorous sport.

About

Imagine stepping into an ancient library, but one surrounded by a eucalyptus grove, not a musty archive. Book opens with an invigorating burst of fresh cypress and eucalyptus, undercut by the subtle piquancy of bergamot. This vibrant freshness then mellows into a heart of warm cedar and amyris, wrapping you in a clean, woody embrace. The dry down is a soft, comforting blend of creamy sandalwood, musk, and a hint of suede, leaving a subtly sophisticated and serene trail.
