Paper
The note of paper is a fascinating olfactory illusion, rarely a direct extract but rather a meticulously crafted accord. It presents as a dry, subtly woody, and often slightly starchy aroma, evoking the crispness of a freshly printed page or the comforting, slightly vanillic dustiness of an aged tome. Its texture is perceived as matte and fibrous, lacking any overt juiciness or oiliness. Intensity is typically low to moderate, designed to be an atmospheric or textural element rather than a dominant force. It tends to be a mid-to-base note, providing a quiet, grounding presence, often evolving from a sharper, cleaner initial impression to a softer, more mellow dry-down that can hint at cellulose, faint ink, or even the subtle sweetness of lignin breaking down over time. Projection is usually intimate, creating a personal aura, and longevity is moderate, lingering as a subtle, intellectual whisper.
