Papier Carbone

Papier Carbone opens with cardamom's dry warmth and star anise's subtle licorice snap, backed by bright bergamot and the dark roast depth of coffee. Nutmeg and lavender emerge as the spice mellows into herbaceous softness, coriander and clary sage adding an almost medicinal clarity. The base settles into ambrette's clean, skin-like musk against guaiac wood's smoky resin, patchouli's earthiness grounding everything while haitian vetiver pulls it deeper into dry, root-like territory—a whisper of paper and ink lingering on skin.
