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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf/Twig Oil from Eucalyptus
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
