Parle Moi de Parfum 2018 EDP
Papyrus Oud 71
Parle Moi de Parfum Papyrus Oud 71 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Michel Almairac. Papyrus Oud 71 opens with Papyrus, Bergamot, Lemon, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Vetiver. Parle Moi de Parfum's Papyrus Oud 71 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.
This is Michel Almairac's love letter to his own creation, the legendary Gucci Pour Homme (2003). It’s divisive; some say it perfects the original, others that the 'oud' note ruins it. Expect dry, woody, and intensely aromatic elegance, but know that some find the dry-down cloying.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection and sophisticated woody-amber profile make it versatile for office and formal wear, leaning mature. Reviewers mention it as an 'office-safe' professional scent, yet its refined depth also suits dates and cooler evenings.
