From the Fragrant Library

Ex Libris Odoratis is an ongoing collection of chapbooks, zines, and ephemera devoted to our sense of smell, created by Aubrey Gurtovenko and Noele Lusano.

Smell Words

We don’t have enough words for scent — so we steal. From touch, from taste, from sound, from light. The second edition of Smell Words holds over 300 terms to expand the way we name what we smell.

Coming soon from Ex Libris Odoratis.

Portals

In Portals, we embrace the imprecision of language, approaching scent as a conduit to the divine. Ten scents selected at random conjure false memories, enabling time travel, teleportation, hyperphantasia — opening portals to imagined worlds.

Last twenty copies available.

Another Grey City

What would it mean to be still? Another Grey City: A Scented Story by Noele Lusano is a personal exploration of place, movement and belonging through the lens of scent. Each copy of the book is accompanied by a scent strip of Treasure & Dreams, a marine gourmand perfume created by the author.

Second printing. Now out of stock.

From the Fragrant Library

Inspired by classic ex libris bookplates, our name, Ex Libris Odoratis, translates from Latin to from the fragrant library. Designed for curious noses, our limited edition books and perfumes are created in small quantities, celebrating craft, intentionality, and imagination.
