There is literal science behind this because old paper breaks down and releases a hint of vanilla which basically makes a bookstore smell like a warm hug

Lembremos que no carro novo o aroma é artificial. São fragrâncias elaboradas e aplicadas nas partes plásticas e estofados. Na livraria o perfume é única e simplesmente pela presença dos livros.

Old paper and quiet aisles carry a kind of promise no new car can match.
