Reverse side has a 1909 calendar and indicates it is perfumed with Azurea. You can still smell it, I can best describe it as a mix of rose water and moth balls.
Found in "The Science of Common Things" by David A. Wells. Published by Ivison, Blakeman and Taylor, 1857.

Sounds like an odd scent -- I'm sure it smelled much nicer back in 1909.
Lovely blog!
Love the Art Nouveau of it!
I love that you could still smell the perfume a hundred years later. I find this doubly incredible since most scratch and sniff books from my youth have already lost their scent.
I wonder if the pages of the book will be permanently infused with it.
