“Karl Lagerfeld is a true book lover - his library holds more than 300,000 books. The designer also owns a book publishing company, Edition 7L, and runs his own bookstore, 7. Maybe that’s why he developed the new fragrance – Paper Passion.
The scent shall smell like ink on paper and has been developed in cooperation with Geza Schön, a perfumer from Berlin. The fragrance is packaed in a hardcover book which is desgined in collaboration with Gerhard Steidl, Lagerfeld’s Edition 7L partner.
Hidden inside the pages of a book, Paper Passion is accompanied by texts from Karl Lagerfeld, Günter Grass, Geza Schoen and Tony Chambers.” (via)

Karl Lagerfeld’s books cover every wall of his studio from the ground, up two stories, to the skylights. Plus he owns the bookstore that is right next door.
