A quiet, magical bookshop.

Eau de Parfum | 50 mL | 1.69 fl Oz

Smells like
Think of this fragrance as sitting somewhere between Le Labo’s Thé Noir 29, with its inky black tea and soft wood glow, and Arquiste’s The Architects Club, with its cozy vanilla smoke and polished warmth—while Murasaki Bookshop leans more nostalgic and quietly edible. It doesn’t smell like dessert, but like the memory of one—a whisper of tiramisu in the air, cardamom dust on your sleeve. The woods are dry and smoked, like cedar shelves warmed by afternoon sun. The result is gentle and haunting—like pages turned slowly, the scent of tea, and someone you almost remember.
Feels like
Wearing Murasaki Bookshop feels like stepping into a quiet, magical bookshop tucked away from the world. The shelves hold strange objects and books that don’t just tell stories—they let you live the ones you never had.
The Story
There’s a narrow lane in downtown Hokkaido where most people never wander. At the very end, behind an old plum-colored door, sits Murasaki Bookshop. It’s quiet inside, but never still. The books seem to breathe, like they’re waiting for the right hands to open them. People say that if you pick the right book, it shows you the life you could have lived—the one shaped by the choices you never made. A stranger you never met becomes the love of your life. A city you never visited feels like home. The book doesn’t just tell the story, it lets you feel it. Snow falls outside, but inside, hours pass like pages, slowly, tenderly. And when you leave, you carry the story with you—half real, half imagined, all yours. No one really finds Murasaki Bookshop. It finds you—when you need a different ending. Or a new beginning.

The Name
It’s named after a quiet, magical bookshop tucked away from the world. The shelves hold strange objects and books that don’t just tell stories—they let you live the ones you never had. Murasaki is the color of mystery, of dreams that begin when you least expect them.
When to Wear
Best worn on library visits, bookstore dates, writing days, or quiet evenings—when you want to feel thoughtful, cozy, and a little lost in wonder.

  1. Deb (verified owner)

    Congratulations on a fabulous design, the spicy opening of a Buddhist incense stick just draws you into its fold, however, the spicy charred wood smell fades with 35-40 mins and what remains is a sweet, but faint vanilla essence. Poor sillage is the undoing of an otherwise outstanding perfume. Longevity is max. 2 hours.

  2. Rakesh Gupta

    Good Scent but not at all long lasting. The sillage and projection is mild. The longevity may be 3-4 hrs with mild base notes left

  3. Churchit

    The best one from the samples. I will surely grab a bottle of this. Maza agaya. That incense like scent reminds me of japanese incense stick. Such a heart warming fragrance with good longevity.
