Launched in 2017 by J-Scent, Paper Soap is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that defies the ordinary.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance lightly to pulse points; it blooms quickly with an aldehydic sparkle that fades into a musky warmth. The soapy freshness reads best close to skin rather than in wide sillage, making it ideal for daytime wear.
