The Library of Alexandria
Atmospheric, resinous, and herbal. The Library of Alexandria in a scent. (Based on vibes, not historical accuracy.) There’s sweet and smoky incense burning to dispel bad odors and evil spirits alike. There’s dust in the air and on the shelves. There’s cold stone that footsteps echo off of, insulating the shady interior from the heat outside. There are shelves upon shelves of papyrus scrolls. And there’s a breeze from outside, wafting the herbal, green scent of the local flora and the salty scent of the Mediterranean. History nerds rejoice, you too can smell like a Ptolemaic Egyptian scholar.
