The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Clive Christian, XX Art Nouveau Papyrus is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that channels the brand's tradition of luxury and refined artistry. The composition opens with bergamot, lending a fresh citrusy brightness that contrasts beautifully with the warm aromatic presence of lavender. At its core lies papyrus, which brings an earthy, slightly green depth to the scent, evoking the intricate patterns and textures of Art Nouveau design.
This fragrance has long-lasting qualities but moderate sillage, so two sprays are sufficient. The papyrus base note gradually unfolds over time, making it ideal for evening wear or special occasions when you want a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the night.
