Biblioteca de Babel Fueguia 1833 2010 Perfume

The Library of Babel (Biblioteca de Babel) by Jorge Luis Borges is a collection of short stories that all seem to share one thing in common: fascination. I may not know these stories yet, but I have become curious about this Argentine, whose literary work apparently builds on fascination.

However, the scent Biblioteca de Babel does not do justice to this fascination, in my opinion. Upon spraying, a strongly alcoholic fruit first hits my nose, which is immediately replaced by burnt milk. Unfortunately, it remains just that burnt milk, so I had to wash off the scent after an hour, even though it had already lost a lot of its strength.

Now I am even more curious about J. L. Borges' book on the Babylonian library, as the scent is a bitter disappointment.
