The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Papyrus by Chloé, launched in 2020 and crafted by Alexis Dadier, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of contemporary elegance. The composition opens with a fresh green accord, providing a crisp and vibrant start that transitions into deeper woody notes and a subtle leather undertone. This blend creates an intriguing contrast between freshness and warmth, making it suitable for both women and men who appreciate understated sophistication.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a more gradual reveal. The green top notes are bright but fleeting; give it time to settle into its woody and leathery base, which will last throughout the day.
