A word for the smell of new/old books.

We book lovers never have been able to express how a book smells without being wordy and complicated. To say a new book smells good is a mockery of our vocabulary acquired by the many books we have read. To say an old book is satisfying is an understatement. To solve this global problem I petition a word for the scent of new and old books- Biblichor. This word comes from the Greek word, Biblos, meaning book and the Ichor, meaning "the fluid that flows in the veins of Gods" and inspired from the word Petrichor (the scent of rain falling onto dry earth).
