Papyrus
“Dry, earthy reed with a dusty, parchment-like character — austere and green.”
Papyrus smells dry, earthy and ancient, like old paper and desert reeds with distinctive arid warmth. In perfumery it adds a dry, intellectual earthiness to niche compositions. In India, its arid character offers contrast. Ancient paper and desert winds.
