Papyrus.

What it smells like.

Papyrus smells of dry reed: papery, faintly smoky, dusty and quite austere, with a vetiver-like bitterness. It is one of the driest materials in perfumery.

It gives a blend texture and a modern, minimal quality. It cuts sweetness sharply and pairs well with vetiver and cedarwood, where it makes the whole base feel arid.

In a blend.

A dry, papery wood. Adds texture more than warmth.

Woody. Warm, grounded scents built around woods, resins and depth.

Pairs beautifully with.
