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

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.
