XX Art Nouveau Papyrus

XX Art Nouveau Papyrus by Clive Christian is a refined, modern fougère with a distinct green and woody character that evokes fresh papyrus, cedar, and lavender. It opens with a crisp bergamot and a hint of pepper, transitioning into a subtle, slightly bitter green heart with notes of galbanum, geranium, and basil. The scent settles into a dry, dusty, aromatic base marked by vetiver, cedar, and a soft musky hint, creating a mood akin to a royal Egyptian chamber or a polished leather travel case. It has moderate projection and typically lasts 10 to 12 hours, leaving a close-to-the-body scent that lingers well into the evening. While not overpowering, it's noticeable within arm's length, making it suitable for offices, casual outings, and intimate settings. The fragrance is unmatched in its elegance and uniqueness—its intimate sillage and dry base are as much about the experience as the scent itself.
