Old books.....
They are degraded and release aromatic molecules such as benzaldehyde, which has an almond-like aroma and smells like vanilla, ethylbenzene and toluene, which give it a sweet touch, or 2-ethyl hexanol, which has a slightly floral aroma.
There is a molecule that increases its concentration in books the older they are. It is furfural, which also smells like almonds, and is more abundant in pages made of cotton or linen than in cellulose.
It is used to date the age of books.
The pages of old books turn yellow over time. It has to do with lignin, a typical molecule of wood, which breaks down into acids that degrade cellulose. The pages of current books contain less of this chemical compound precisely to prevent the deterioration of the volumes.
Each book not only offers a story, but also a unique and singular perfume.

The Beginning of making solid perfumes.
Today, I started some batches of different resins, including Oman Hojari frankincense and Myrrh from the Island of Socotra. Of course some more common things like Juniper, plantain, Bittercress from the Appalachian mountains, and Roses from my own yard, that will be beneficial not only for perfumery but for balms and creams. Very exciting!

Magnolia trees and shrubs are among the oldest flowering plants in existence, dating back over 95 million years.
These beautiful plants have also adapted uniquely to their environment.
One of the most interesting facts about Magnolias is that they evolved before bees appeared on Earth.
Instead of relying on bees for pollination, these ancient plants developed a unique partnership with beetles.
Their tough flowers are specifically designed to endure the rough-and-tumble life of beetle pollinators.
Beetles are attracted to the fragrant blooms and, as they feast on the pollen, they inadvertently carry it from flower to flower, ensuring the plant’s reproduction.🌸
