紙の香りの香水について。
紹介されてないけどDEMETERのペーパーバック嗅いでみたい。
relentlessly
意味 容赦なく〈攻撃する· 求めるなど〉; 絶え間なく〈働くなど〉.
Paper is something we have increasingly infrequent contact with in this relentlessly digitised world, and perhaps nearly as importantly, smell far less frequently in our every day lives. Could this be why perfumers are seeking to evoke the scent in the fragrances we wear?

紙や図書館や古本屋の香り好きだけど虫が湧くのがなぁ。
sterility
意味 （内容の） 乏しいこと; 無効果.
There’s a functional sterility to the burgeoning ‘metaverse’ that’s abhorrent to sensorialists – those of us who revel in our senses, welcoming the smell and comforting caress of books and paper (and you know, food, fabrics, the infinitesimal layering of textures that IRL [In Real Life] offers us), as we might a lover’s touch.

データじゃなくメディア（実物）が手元に欲しいタイプの人は保管大変よね。
instantaneous
意味 (かたく)〈反応· 行動などが〉即座の, 瞬間的な; 〈通信などが〉リアルタイムの.
For book (and printed paper) lovers, particularly; while E-Reader devices and scrolling on phone screens certainly have huge benefits – instantaneous access to literature is not to be, pardon the pun, sniffed at – but they lack the tangibility of literally burying your nose in a book, or feeling a piece of paper as you write on it (in pen! How very old school). Indeed, research shows that, while levels of comprehension are similar no matter how you read a text; people struggle to accurately recall events or timelines of a long story on a screen, as opposed to reading on paper.

インクの香りも好きだけど…もうデータで所持する事に慣れちゃったわ。
over a long period of time
意味 長期にわたって
‘…over a period of time, the compounds within paper [break down to] produce the smell. Paper consists of cellulose and small amounts of lignin(a complex polymer of aromatic alcohols). Paper that is even more fine contains less lignin than cheaper materials, like the paper used in newspapers.’

本文にlongはないけど辞書例文まるっと。
seductive
意味 うっとりするような; 魅力的な, 人を引きつける.
I would argue the smell of paper – old and mysterious or newly seductive – is also a huge part of our emotional intelligence, our interconnectivity, scent and memory combined.
