A scent as comforting as snuggling up in your coziest blanket while rain trickles down your bedroom window as you slowly turn the pages of your favorite book is what makes up the fragrance we call Novel. 

Subtly sweet, dry, and warmly atmospheric. The wood notes and the pepper (which is mild) combine to evoke that smell of old paper and binding glue. Meanwhile, the dusty vanilla is the beautiful fiction of this Novel that although is not sweet.  It’s the fantasy itself that is; the fantasy of whiling away the hours in some old-world library full of secluded nooks, lamps, and coziness.

Saved My Memories

This was exactly what I was looking for. The perfume this is based on (Replica's "Whispers in the Library") has been my signature scent since it was launched and I have many beautiful, important memories connected to it. It was discontinued this year and the sealed bottle I'd purchased last year to savour had already turned sour in the package.

Devastated, I started looking for alternatives and found this. It is identical after it develops! I'm so, so happy with this purchase and will absolutely be buying again.

Please, please never discontinue this scent! Thank you!

On my third bottle. It's the perfect woodsy/powdery/sweet scent that isn't too overpowering but lasts all day.

Compliments galore

This scent is amazing. The first time I wore it I had 5 different people ask about it and compliment it. The smell lasts all through a 12 hour work shift.

Incredibly good!

I have several Alt fragrances but had hesitated to get this one because I was afraid it would smell too dry, musty, or woody. But, no! It actually smells fresh, even a little citrusy at first, and dries down to a comforting, mellow vanilla. Highly recommend!!

Compared to "Whispers in the Library"

Starts off sweeter, more vanilla heavy, than "whispers" -- I can see why some said it was a little more "old lady-ish"...However, it does eventually settle and its finishing scent later in the day is exactly like "whispers." I still prefer "Whispers" but since they're no longer making it, I will get this one as back up.

It’s exact

I’m never paying for replica perfume again. I was expecting to be disappointed and never write reviews but this brand is spot on. Thank you, thank you…. Please make a Kate by Kate moss and I’ll buy 20 bottles on first order… I’ve been searching for over a decade

My Signature Fragrance!!

I have been a loyal user of this perfume for three years now, and she is still my favorite fragrance! When I first tried Whispers in the Library, I was left a bit disappointed. I was expecting amber, a little bit of spice, and everything nice, but I was left disappointed! The dry down was extremely powdery, and it didn’t last long either. Alt’s Novel was exactly what I wanted out of Whispers in the Library but better! The sillage and lasting is a million tomes better than the original. It’s full of that academic ambery, vanilla, spiciness that I was yearning for in the original! This has been by far my most complimented fragrance. Whenever trying a new fragrance, I am a bit wary. I am surrounded by people almost all day every day, and I don’t want to smell unpleasant. But, Novel has never caused me any issues!! Absolutely lovvveee Novel.

Best perfume I have!!

A lot of cheaper perfumes tend to smell like alcohol even if people say it doesn't. This truly doesn't!! It is such a great scent without being overpowering. I do wish the scent lingered better because I would love to smell this all day. It's like using a vanilla scented wax warmer inside of a warm yellow lit library. It smells like republica jazz club but more feminine. I know this is a dupe for whisper in the library but I never got a chance to sample that one. This is truly a great scent.

Love this scent

I spray this everytime I read a book. It gives me the cozy library vibe. And it’s a legit dupe for Whispers in the Library from Replica. Smells amazing.
