Vieux Papier

"The presentation is exceptional, featuring a magnetic closure box and a sleek bottle with a high-quality pressurized atomizer, rivaling niche brands like Xerjoff. The scent itself is remarkably transformative and versatile for men. It smoothly opens with the acclaimed Vetiver Filipina and a dash hint of juicy bergamot citrus vibe. Over time, it evolves into a classic lavender cologne accord with spicy undertones, culminating in a leathery, woody, and subtly smoky dry-down reminiscent of aged paper or fine currency. This complex evolution is truly unique to my collection. Performance is outstanding, exceeding expectations for its price point. Projection is prominently long for about 6 hours, making it suitable for work or office environments, and it has a noticeable scent trail within a 1-2 foot distance. Longevity is impressive, lasting over 24 hours on clothing and 8-10 hours on skin, perfectly embodied in the fragrance's idea of "quiet luxury" concept. My personal take- it's totally versatile— an ideal for the office, casual outings, or date nights. While I won't use it for gym, it surprisingly blends will with sweat, making it a bit louder and stronger yet still having that smooth take. Despite its current perception as a scent for "mature" men, I find it adaptable across age ranges. It embodies success and growth, projecting an aura of steady, controlled confidence. This is a serious fragrance, worthy of a signature scent. Bravo to Greg, RJ, and the entire team. I'm genuinely impressed and would be honored to express my appreciation in person."

I've had this perfume for months now, since its official release date. At first, I thought it wouldn't appeal to a non fraghead like my partner, but I was so wrong. My partner, who isn’t even a perfume collector, loves it and wears it almost every time we go out! This has been my daily driver, and I always get compliments from people who catch a whiff of it. Some say I smell like leather, not the harsh, pungent kind, but a sexy, alluring, and tolerable leather. It reminds me a lot of number 3 Crépuscule Ardent by Thomas Kosmala and Tom Ford Ombre Leather, but with a unique twist of smelling like old money. Imagine the scent of old, withdrawn bills from an ATM, not the crisp new polymer banknotes, but the old ones prior to that. Got that in mind? Now imagine spraying it with Ombre Leather or Crépuscule Ardent. That’s the vibe! Sexy, old money, luxurious, gentlemanly, subtle but still gives aura. It’s giving boss energy. Leather belt, leather shoes, leather wallet, slacks, and a polo kind of vibe. Nothing loud or showy, just quiet, demure luxury that leaves a lasting impression. Oh, and did I mention its versatility and longevity? This perfume works in any season and stays on my clothes for days. I could still smell it after a week, even on laundry day. I’m honestly vibing with this scent. It’s definitely one of the best creations from this line so far!

The first time I smelled this fragrance, I knew I had to buy it. It made me realize that I like vetiver perfumes. For me, it is quite sharp, but in a good way. The paper accord gives the feeling of smelling like money. I would definitely wear it on formal/semi-casual occasions or a random day.

My first reaction was “wow!” and it still is. This is an oddly fresh scent for a fragrance meant to emulate an old paper smell, but I mean that in the best possible way. This is a niche perfume that almost everyone can appreciate. Long lasting, compliment puller, and affordable.

My first local Niche Perfume👌 -suede leather -old money I spray this at night to relax myself after a stressful day at work. This is not just a perfume, this is atmosphere🫡
