Paper -

Reminds me of: A cool spring morning, the first day of the season where the windows can be opened wide to let the warmth in, even though it’s still a bit brisk. I’m replacing my bedsheets with warm fresh washed crisp white linens which feel warm against my skin that has turned cold because of the air through the window. I have soft jazz playing in the background while I work through my Sunday chores. The notes in this fragrance are Iso E Super, Sandalwood, Amber, Woodsy notes and Vetiver. I am the biggest Iso E Super stan. I will say I have never met a fragrance with this note that I wasn’t obsessed with. It is absolute magic on my skin. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it smells like to me, but I get the same reaction to this scent that I do with gasoline - in the very best way possible. Paper- is in the family of “your skin but better” fragrances and honestly, it’s one of my favourites. Because it is so simply perfect. I can wear it whenever and wherever and feel like a million bucks. My husband text messaged me while we were both in meetings in our shared office just to say “what ever you got on smells good”. And you simply can’t make that up. Commodity does it again with this one. Can I bathe in their fragrances for the rest of my life? I feel like I don’t hear enough people gush about their fragrances outside of Milk. Color me obsessed. I have two left in my exploration kit in the personal scent space family. I can’t wait to see what these conjure up!

oh i'm obsessed with this. i don't know what it is. i don't care for the rest of the Paper line, but there's something synthetic + warm + cozy in this that has me waving my wrists in front of my nose like i'm giving someone a hidden signal. is it iso e super? i'm fairly new to perfumes, i didn't smell anything from molecule 01, so it's either ambroxan or iso e super or the combo of things in Paper- that has me considering buying a full bottle. i don't like Paper expressive (it's just kinda... nothing with like rubber or vinyl and ink) so perhaps it's not the iso e super that I like? it's a weird and strange fragrance, there's no particular season or time you Cannot wear this, though it's a Personal so may not suit a formal event or clubbing where you want to be smelled (or wear this there anyway, it's your life, and might give a cool and mysterious vibe). sillage is of course close to the skin, but longevity is surprisingly long. it's that funny but marvellous synthetic note that lasts ages. i can understand why this has low reviews because i can see this working on some people but not others, defs try before buy.

I absolutely adore this scent. For some insane reason to me, my family doesn’t seem to love it as much as I do. But I don’t care lol. I’m obsessed. It is oddly reminiscent of paper is some bizarre way that I can’t exactly put my finger on. I don’t understand the reviews where ppl claim it was not long lasting or had a weak sillage. For me, I have found it’s the opposite. It’s very long lasting, and projects greatly.. not too much, but enough. I can spray it on while wearing my sweater, and a week or so later still smell it on the sweater as I pull it back off the coat rack. It also smells similar ( imo ) to Chanel De Bleu L’Exclusif for men. CDB has a faint hint of Paper-. Maybe I shouldn’t be surprised by that because they share a lot of the same notes. CDB has a much stronger, sweeter amber - woodsy note, but you can catch a nice whiff of that signature Paper scent here and there. I am obsessed with both. Paper- is very unisex. I’m a 33 year old woman and truly enjoy wearing it. It’s a lovely fragrance and it is what sparked my love for Commodity, causing me to purchase their discovery sets.

Let it be known that I have a thing for these chemically molecular scents and this is what that is. If you’re not an Iso-E fan, you’re probably best off avoiding. Paper (-) holds its own in a long line of beautiful molecular compositions, of which Thomas Kosmala No. 4 and No. 10, Another 13, Molecule 01 (as well as the + guaiac wood verison), and the Nemat Amber Oil are my absolute favorite smells. It does well to evoke the scent of warm, white printer paper straight from the copier. It dries down soft and woody and ambery on the skin after the chemicals have faded, leaving you with this ever lingering sense of comfort and peace every time you catch a whiff. It’s really lovely and I hope to add it to my collection one day. 9.5/10

This is one of my favorite fragrances of all times, it is unlike any other "skin" scent, it's futuristic. It's perfectly unisex, and yes, it opens up strong sometimes, depending on the day and the state of your skin. I have been told that I smelled like "the dentist's office in the best possible way", and I think this is a pretty accurate description. It is not a blind purchase fragrance, you really have to test if it work with your skin! It doesn't work for many people. But I stand by this scent, it is one of a kind. It lasts 6 hours on average on my skin, which is a lot longer than some expensive scents like "I don't know what" and such.
