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!

Even better than the original

I owned The Originals of everything I've ordered from Alt so I can compare. In the bottle, I had my doubts about Novel but it bloomed instantly on my skin and I thought "yeah, THAT is Whispers". Novel, Sensual vanilla, beach side, nicotiana, and crystal are all long wearing. Peach Smash and Queen are not.

It's Fantastic

Never tried the scent this is based on. However, I am a scholar and I wanted to have a scent that was like a library, and really be a nerd about it. I got it and my wife's first comment (she didn't know what it was or what the scent idea was) when I put it on was "This is how your office smells." So that was a win. I highly recommend it.

Novel

I purchased Novel based on reviews without frame of reference and I absolutely love it. I would definitely buy this one again. The scent is classic and long lasting without being loud. To me, Novel has no floral, fruity, or citrus and yet still feminine and lovely.

One of My Favorites 😍

I own a lot of Alt fragrances. This is one of my favorites. It's soft, but has a deep comforting somewhat peppery vanilla/tonka/woodsy scent, not sweet. I love it. It's not in your face and loud, but quiet, sophisticated and delicious.

This is the most complimented perfume I own. It is nostalgia in a bottle and is now my signature scent. It smells so good and last all day! Love, love, love Novel!!!

Good replacement for Whispers in the Library

It’s a good replacement for Whispers in the Library on dry down. It has good longevity, but doesn’t quite have projection of Whispers. So glad to have found it; Whispers is my favorite and I was gutted when I found it was discontinued.

My Signature Fall/Winter Scent

Novel is as close to Whispers in the Library that I'm going to find-its not exact but it'll do. I hate WIL was discontinued, but am glad this exists to give me something of a similar scent. Overall, it's a great product.

Awesome

Received my men's most popular (3 fragrances) and picked out 3 fragrances for my wife. While I don't have experiences with the originals, all of them smell amazing. Have gotten compliments and my wife loves the way I smell as I do her.
