Backseat sandalwood

I’ve worn this a couple of times now and I am in love. There’s no denying that there’s sandalwood in here, that gets revealed in the heart or the base. It takes a bit of a backseat to the rest of the notes. Usually sandalwood and I don’t match. But this is such an incredible blend that I want a full bottle rather sooner than later (this review is based on a sample).

The thing I love most is that it has this certain dryness over it. Don’t know if that’s the papyrus or the tobacco note but it fits the perfumes name beautifully. It really does make me think of Greece somehow. Must be the spices that are used.

Speaking of tobacco, I can’t really detect that cigar or cigarette smell at all, it’s more the dryness that’s associated with it. So it fits every day wearing perfectly. It lasts through an office day. Projection isn’t that great after an hour or two. But I don’t mind. It’s a friendly, calming scent. Inviting. You can even wear it at nighttime if that’s your thing.

Papyrus Moleculaire

Beautiful, minimal, sober—Papyrus Moleculaire seems like a slept-on scent from the Maison Crivelli family. Everyone seems to tout Patchouli Magnetik and Iris Malikhan, but this one deserves some love too.

If you're keen on papyrus and soft, woody scents, it smells like: A) quickly flipping an old paperback book through your fingers and seeing the ensuing dust float through air, lit up by the late afternoon sunlight filtering through a linen curtain.

If you don't like it, it's probably because it smells like: B) any and every boutique hotel lobby in LA or C) the kind of shop that displays stacks of photography books on 80s post-modern, tessellated coffee tables and charges $340 for an artisanal, ceramic bowl.

In the Egyptian burial chamber

Papyrus is to be understood literally here, with all associations to Egyptian paper production, hieroglyphics, desert sand and mysterious burial chamber. PM opens slightly musty, moist and with unmistakable papyrus note. Lightly spiced by pepper and coriander, the scent settles almost oily on the skin and stays right there: skin deep. Sillage is hardly present, but that actually does not bother, because who likes to have this smell on him, will be perfectly happy to have it for himself.
I perceive it as damp, slightly musty papyrus, earthy and yet still with powdery, dusty undertones somewhere. We are not in a light, bright library here, even smelling of musk and print blackness. Oh no, we are standing in the middle of an Egyptian burial chamber. The dampness rolls off the stones of the walls, a dry desert sandalwood wind blows from outside, a clump of coriander grows somewhere in the corner. Grave goods are ancient papyri and peppercorns. Tobacco and leather give depth, while the tonka bean adds a slightly sweetish-modish contrast.
In the drydown, the mustiness fades a little, the scent becomes drier and clearer, more sand(elwood) and a little less spice. And then, all of a sudden, it's over. We step out of the burial chamber into the light and somehow the whole smell is just gone. Maybe a hint of sand, a slight scratch in the throat and Papyrus Moléculaire has evaporated like a memory of a long-gone culture.
