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.

I have been using Maison Crivelli Papyrus Moléculaire perfume for a year, and it’s still my go-to fragrance. The scent is unique, elegant, and draws endless compliments. Its remarkable longevity ensures it lasts all day, making it a perfect choice for both casual and special occasions. Highly recommended!

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.

A silhouette on a white sheet
First encounter — wow! Original and distinctive. Sharp in the most delicate and intelligent way.

Paper, purity, innocence. Transparent yet well-defined. All the components are in perfect balance; nothing solos or shouts over the rest. Pepper and tobacco have never smelled this clean before — no harshness, no bitter old-man scent :)

A silhouette on a white sheet. Abstract painting with glowing white, golden and light greens.

But within this purity there is character — a self-aware tenderness

This fresh spicy-green Mid season fragrance slowly settles to a slightly warm, yet clean (powdery) resinous-woody base. Very Unisex!

Better take on Santal 33 scent profile, less pickley, more wearable, and overall much more pleasent for everyone.

Milky, salty sandalwood, green and resinous overtones. A fine balancing act between fresh, sweet, salty and spicy. Too buttery for my taste.

Transparent, airy and delicate in a very unisex way. Very unique blend and signature scent worth it. My signature scent.

Aromatic, meditative, calming. But I think some herbs are missing. In this DNA I go with Bois de Balincourt.

Herbal/spicy opening that reminds me of Greece kitchen. Later dissolves into more familiar Sandalwood. Lovely.

Well, it's just Santal 33. Sandalwood + dry papyrus and a hint of spice. Good longevity, difficult DNA.

Fresh & mildly sweet sandalwood w/ some green/powdery touches. In the Santal 33, Santal Complet, Gris Charnel realm. Very weak performance.
