Who will love itThe nostalgic and the curious. Rubber plimsolls, new books, pencil shavings and cold concrete.

Who will hate itAnyone who just wants to smell nice. This is a memory, not a compliment-getter.

Cold mornings, new books and pencil shavings.

School was created with the Rook community in a Rook Scent Experiment. Cold air, trees, moss and concrete floors open it, then comes the classroom: olibanum, rubber plimsolls and new books.

Who it's for: Anyone who loves conceptual, nostalgic scents with papery, woody and rubbery notes.
Who it isn't for: Those who want a conventional 'pretty' perfume. This one is a memory first.
