The Great Paper Caper!

Iso-E-Super...This smells NOTHING like paper anywhere in the known universe...yet strangely it does remind me of "Paper Passion"--- which also smells nothing like any paper I've ever come across. I guess it's the Cherry Cough Drop Dilemma or the Banana Flavored Candy Debacle or the Green-Apple Jolly Rancher Conspiracy. This is the great Paper Caper! 'If you can't be with Molecule 01...love this at about half the price. Harsh- synthetic musk meets a synthetic low quality woody dry cedar and a short-lived raunchy hour of passion ensues...what was his name? No matter, it's not likely I would recognize him if we passed on the street in broad daylight.

crisp, high quality paper

Smells like crisp, fresh paper. The kind from a craft store, or like really high quality stationery. I think this is for a very specific audience, but I'm so so SO in love with it. Maybe I'm a bit biased with my background as an artist and someone who does enjoy the inky, cold smell of an art supply store, but this is so so so lovely and at home feeling for me. Subtle, delightful.

90s school library

This smells like a fresh ream of printer paper straight out of the packaging. It's giving Staples The Store, but in a really nice way. Maybe it's because of my proximity to printer paper, libraries, office supplies, but I really love this one- and it's weird enough to work for any season you wear it in.

Expressive Paper

On paper, Paper is smooth, warm, sensual, deep and everything I love in fragrances like these. The fragrance loses some of that deepness soon after spraying. And two minutes in, the fragrance has largely disappeared, what is left is a mild note that is light, somewhat synthetic, but still ambery. For some reason it reminds me of the smell of a plastic doll head. We are not off to a good start.

On skin, however, the fragrance surprisingly doesn't have the same amber opening that was smooth, warm and sensual. It is in fact more like the dry down, synthetic and harsh. Oof! A minute or two in, Paper has largely disappeared once again, but according to the Commodity pamphlet it was to be expected. I quote "Paper celebrates sandalwood as a skin scent thanks to Iso E Super. The Iso E Super plays off the natural scent of one's skin for a soft sandalwood trail that is truly unique", so I'm getting Zarkoperfumes molecule flashbacks!

After complete oxidation, Paper is just but a hint on my skin of something slightly ambery. On paper, it is gone. However, I couldn't smell Molecule 234.38 on myself either, whereas others could, so my nose might be blind to the whole Iso E Super magic.

Besides the slight plastic note, Paper smells like nothing to me, ironically, basically of paper.

Maybe it doesn't smell like paper, but I liked it.

Of all the Commodity scents I put on test strips at Sephora today, this is the one I wanted to test on my skin. It didn't thrill me at first, like the ingredients needed time to cohere. Google the fragrance notes and it will say Iso E Super is in the top notes. It says the base note is sandalwood, which I tend to dislike, so the Iso E Super must have stuck around to the end, because I found the dry down to be pleasant and uplifting.
Update: after a shower last night I woke up to find it is still on my wrist, so it's long lasting! And I realized it smells like my favorite "linen"-scented Febreeze ... and on the second day, it's off my wrist but days later is still on the sheets, and smells like old fashioned spray starch. Not my favorite, but I'm not going back and re-rating it.
