Paper +

Wow, I love this scent! I already loved Paper-, but it disappeared too quickly. This one is better but I wish first 20mins would last for hours. Although it is Bold, the projection is weak and it stays very close to skin. But it has this intimate, molecular character so I think it shouldn't be very loud. Can't really detect individual notes, I think it's the first time for me to try Iso E Super note, but I love it. It has something similar to Orris Tattoo, or maybe it is just this molecular thing that bolds my skin scent. Cannot imagine someone would find this repulsive.

I love this. Wasn't a fan of Paper or Paper-. They're both very sharp and cologne-y. But Paper+ has an ambery warmth that makes it very soothing. It's still a dry woods fragrance, but it doesn't have that off putting sharpness of the other Papers. Commodity just raised their prices, so this is now $145. Considering how weak of a fragrance it is (especially for the bold line), I think it's overpriced. But I do love it. It's a perfect easy summer reach for me, because it's so light and simple.

i found the travel spray at tj maxx and was so excited! i have to say this might be my new favorite. it is the perfect day to day perfume, smelling like fresh clean skin with a slight spicy aspect? i can smell this on my skin all day and on my clothes the next day. it’s subtle and not overpowering. i get headaches from strong perfumes but i like them to last. this is the perfect darker take on a clean scent.

This still has weak sillage for being their bold version, but moderates within arms length. I really enjoy this scent. It transports me to a rainy hike I did in Olympic national park - mossy, wet, woody, fresh... It’s comforting and clean. Like others said for the price point I’m okay with having to spray a bit more for good sillage. If you like a closer perfume it’s perfect.

Beautiful woody cozy wintery warm scent with a little freshness peeking through. It has the sort of je ne sais quoi of a molecular scent. You have to spray a lot though, and it doesn't smell very strong on clothes. But for the price point, I don't mind having to use a lot. Very calming and natural smelling but the wood still comes through. Im not sure I get much vetiver

I love this fragrance. It’s woody and so soothing. I got told though by an employee that her grandmother would love it and then another employee said it smells like a church lady. 🤷🏻♀️ That was disappointing considering I really do love it but who cares I’m still going to wear it!

I find the Personal and Expressive versions of Paper to be pretty underwhelming. This one, I love though and reach for often. It's ISO E Super with a warm edge, and I would venture to say some iris as well. Woody, cedary with a sheer warmth and even a hint of sweet chalkiness.

Paper+ is a really pleasant creamy woody molecular scent for daily wear. I prefer this to the expressive version which I found frustratingly light wearing. The performance is better here. I like it!

I adore this. Perfect when layered with Milk+. So comforting. 😍

Iso E Super Cedarwood Sandalwood Vetiver

There's no amber in this blend.

This one smells just like a gentle, warm breeze in a pine forest in summer. The scent is molecular, woody, dry, soft and mild, and stays close to the skin. Paper + would be great perfume for layering; I imagine that it would add nice depth and woodiness to, for example, vanilla fragrances. The scent doesn't undergo significant development on the skin, but remains quite linear, gradually becoming perhaps a touch sweeter. This is a perfect "dumb-reach" perfume: it’s suitable for all situations and weather conditions, unlikely to irritate even sensitive noses. This is the first Commodity I've tried and based on this, I'm curious to try their other offerings. The downside is that the scent doesn't linger on the skin for very long. In two hours, it’s gone. If this is "bold", I wonder how weak the expressive and personal versions are.

I bought a discovery set from Commodity with all the bold versions, and Paper was the only one I liked. It's one of those molecule fragrances, in the same vein as Le Labo Another 13, JHAG Not a Perfume or pretty much everything from Escentric Molecules. Paper+ is a little more interesting though. It's a your-skin-but-better-scent, but it's not just Iso E Super, it has an ambery warmth to it that none of the other molecule fragrances have, at least on my skin. It’s warm, clean and smooth. Usually Iso E Super is extremely loud and overpowers everything else, but here it's been dialed down and just adds a woody touch to the fragrance. Paper+ is completely unisex. Can be worn alone or as a base to add some depth to lighter fragrances. So far Paper+ is my favorite molecule fragrance. 8.5/10.

I like it.. when I can smell it. Opens with a crisp clean paper like scent, creamy and a little sweet like sun kissed skin in a pleasant way. Slightly synthetic while still smelling natural. Then it basically went away. 2 sprays and I was convinced this was a rip off. My wife came home and immediately asked what that smell was. I had almost forgotten I was wearing something so I didn’t think anything of it.. but she asked again hours later. She was smelling it over 6 feet away. She explained it as a pleasant unique woody scent, but was strong to her nose. ISO E super is known for being difficult to detect. It comes and goes, but I go anosmic to this fragrance quickly. To my nose it has a mild projection, may be loud to others. Hope this helps.

This is the ISO bomb of the set. I blew hot and cold on this and changed my mind several times whilst trying - I never hated it though just more not sure if its really worth having in the line up. Its a lovely musk skin scent and the first time I tried it I LOVED (my notes just say 'WOW they described this perfectly on the website' because I smelled EXACTLY what they said I would) it but the second time not so much, and the third time it was just OK. It could be the vetiver - having recently tried Fat Electrician and being unable to decide if I like it or if it repulses me lmao. Did get compliments from others and I need to try it a few more times to decide for sure I think!

Very similar to Paper expressive, but sweeter and with more of an ambery warmth. Feels like it would be a great complement to a lot of vanilla perfumes. I personally prefer Paper expressive because it comes off slightly cleaner to my nose, but this one is nice also and stands out from other “your skin but better” scents because of its additional warmth. This version projects really well (as you might expect given it’s the bold version) and lasts all day. It’s an easy one to reach for; suitable for all weathers, seasons, situations, and genders. Whilst it’s noticeable, it’s also not so overpowering that it’s likely to offend anyone. In my view, an easy scent to love.

Was totally expecting more from this version of Paper considering it’s the bold one, but I thought it was even more undetectable than Paper (-) (Which I love by the way - my favorite out of the three versions). This is a very soft, dry Vetiver/Sandalwood combo and a little bit of Iso-E. Generally comforting and cozy, but boring. There are much better perfumes in this category, so I’d recommend sampling around before spending the money on Paper (+). It just doesn’t last at all and you can barely smell it. I recommend Milky Musk from Parle Moi if you’re a Sandalwood lover. 5/10

This is a really unique scent. I’d say it leans a little masculine, but it’s definitely unisex. It kind of reminds me of spicy wood—like warm spices mixed with freshly-sawed pale wood. Honestly, it smells a bit like the lumber section at Home Depot, but in a good way. There’s also a slight sweetness that keeps it from being too dry or sharp. It’s clean, woody, and just a little cozy. Makes me smell like a lumberjack... in a nice way.

on my skin, this comes across very clean. i get all the Iso E Super and a hint of supporting vetiver. leans masculine ever so slightly. but there is a freshness to it that i can’t place on any of the notes listed. maybe some sweet sandalwood? it’s lovely, but hard to describe. regardless, i love it more than i thought i would. not a fantastic performer, more of an understated scent, very skin-scent.

Paper+ starts off smelling like a ream of printer paper and then morphs into dryer sheets with an ISO-e woody base. This would definitely be for those who prefer intimate/skin scents. There's no whoa factor for me here.. it's simply pleasant and underwhelming. I suppose I wasn't really expecting a fragrance named Paper to blow my socks off anyway, so... touché, Commodity.
