ResinousWhat does Paper Passion smell like?
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with winter trailing behind. Leisure and office settings lead, and votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.
The notes read as one whole: paper and ozone give a fresh, slightly synthetic feel, while osmanthus adds a soft floral touch. Amber and greasy notes lay a spicy, resinous, faintly animal warmth underneath, and the woody accord keeps it dry.
