Book Expressive

Fragrance Family: Earthy & Woody

Scent Type: Earthy Green & Herbs

Key Notes: Bergamot, Sandalwood, and Cedarwood

Fragrance Description: This crisp, woody fragrance tips its hat to the Hemingways and Fitzgeralds of the world, conjuring the warmth of a quiet moment curled up with a good book. Its complex blend of sparkling bergamot, crisp cedarwood, and warm sandalwood results in an unexpectedly fresh scent.

About the Bottle: The Expressive Collection is an homage to Commodity’s classic black-and-white bottles. The similar look reflects that Commodity’s original formulations are now housed within the Expressive Scent Space, and that these middle ground perfumes are the perfect balance of plus and minus.

About the Fragrance: "My most cherished memories as a child were in the library, which created a world of wonder. Book Expressive takes you to the New York Public Library to recapture the experience of yesterday—turning the pages and breathing in the smell of dry paper mingling with the fresh air."–Ketrin Leka, Maker

Suggested Usage:
-Spritz one to two times directly on the pulse points, such as your wrists, inner elbows, or sides of the neck.
-Pulse points are warmer areas of the body that act as natural diffusers when emitting a scent.
-After application, allow the scent to air dry.
-Rubbing or dabbing will break down a fragrance and cause it to wear off more quickly.
-If you wear fragrance on the wrists, be sure to reapply after frequent handwashing.
-Properly store your bottle to extend its shelf life, including recapping after each use and avoiding direct sunlight.

Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum?:
The difference lies in the volume of perfume oil. While EDT contains five to nine percent, EDP contains more, usually eight to 14 percent. EDPs, therefore, last longer and smell more intense.

-While Commodity works toward fully recyclable packaging, most of your fragrance can currently be recycled.
-Box, paper notecard, and pulp tray should be recycled as paper.
-Glass bottle and metal pump should be recycled as glass.
