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 Imagine the scent of old, withdrawn bills from an ATM, not the crisp new polymer banknotes, but the old ones prior to that.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🫡

I've been eyeing GP perfumes for a while and finally caved during a live sale and I'm so glad I did. This one has a slightly intimidating opening, the kind that makes you feel like you need to have your life together to wear it. Think polished, cool, and quietly powerful like someone who always smells good in a well air-conditioned room. What really won me over is how perfectly it captures the rainy season. It smells like wet grass and damp wood after a downpour . There's also a subtle sweetness somewhere in there that I can't fully identify, but it adds a nice warmth that keeps it from feeling too cold or too sharp. The dry down is where it gets really wearable and I'm already thinking of layering combinations to make it more "me" for everyday office wear. And can we talk about the packaging, very niche, very intentional, with a beautiful Filipino touch that makes it feel extra special. Would definitely recommend to anyone who loves earthy, woody scents. Thank you sir Gabriel Muyar for the reco.

after 1 year and almost a month of having this, i would say that it has become smoother, refined -- almost like an aging fine wine. i couldn't wear this that much because it was really mature for my liking. i let it rest. then boom!! this smells better now in terms of performance, scent, and quality. for the first few uses, i received "amoy kahoy ka (hinting that i smelled very woody for her liking). but now, i received "ang bango mo! amoy basang kahoy na mabango" mind you, same person lang laya very fantasy sha now.

Money, money, money. AMAZED actually how this actually smells like freshly-printed paper bills. I do smell some green notes (probably the vetiver) have that bitterness to it (as if you pinch a leaf and the juices come out). Smells polarizing at first, but amazing how it settles down on the skin.

If you have Khadlaj Titan and CDNIM EDT, just layer the former over the latter on skin and you’ll get a Vieux Papier–like scent profile—only smoother, with a better drydown. At least on my skin chemistry. Thank me later.

A failure to be honest. Metalic Wood scent. I thought it was a good scent until it is not. I tried this and it didn't last for more than 4-5 hours on clothes. Skin scent is for only about 30mins - 1 hour. Sillage is not there as well, this has only about less than a foot of projection and it is good in that sense since this is really not that good of a perfume. Filipino's are glazing too much on this perfume for unknown reasons. This is too expensive for the Filipino's. Really not worth it. Trust me on this one. A total waste of money.

had so much expectations on this fragrance because of the notes but somehow i was a bit disappointed. to my nose, it opens up so overwhelming and very sharp and as it dries down the blend of earthy and leathery accords of this fragrance is so nauseating. will give this fragrance another chance and test it again on my skin after a few weeks and see if there’s any improvements

Vieux Papier is a beautifully crafted fragrance that evokes the scent of old paper currency, vetiver, and spices. Its warm, leathery notes create a commanding and sophisticated aura, perfect for those who appreciate timeless elegance. The blend of woody and subtly smokey undertones gives it a classic feel, making it ideal for power settings or personal affirmation. While its longevity is average to moderate at best, the unique scent profile because of the Vetiver Filipina component makes it a must-try for lovers of the quiet luxury aesthetic and fougere fragrances.
