Paperplane

by Dominique Moellhausen

Costume National Scents Paperplane is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Dominique Moellhausen. Paperplane opens with Incense and Pepper, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, and Musk. Costume National Scents's Paperplane carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a divisive whisper. Some find it a clean, understated, personal scent, while others declare it a joyless, chalky affair that smells like dusty office paper. If you like 'smells-like-nothing' scents, this is your jam; otherwise, keep moving.

Its subtle, skin-scent nature, combined with fresh and woody accords, makes it highly suitable for office wear where discretion is key. The lack of projection and 'personal scent' vibe means it's less ideal for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent is often desired, though some find its uniqueness adds a classy touch.

About

Paperplane opens with a dry, fresh crackle of pepper and a touch of clean incense, quickly settling into an earthy heart of vetiver, cypriol, and sage. It's an unusual concoction that evokes the surprisingly complex scent of textured paper. The drydown reveals a soft, musky base interwoven with amber and oakmoss, maintaining a quiet, almost translucent quality.
