One thought that came to my mind was how literature and scent can be connected: for example if something you read brings to mind a particular fragrance or scent memory, and vice versa. Perfumes can tell stories (good ones do, anyway!) and are grounded in some historical context--just like literature.

It is such a complex note, and not always the most approachable one, and though it has its habitués it is often overshadowed by the more sociable florals.

Bear left into a building and inhale the air that is at once cool yet musty, tinged lightly with the smell of feet.
