Prosody London Paper Flower Fan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Kershen Teo. Paper Flower Fan opens with Lemon, Lime, and Carnation, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Freesia, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Ambrette, Benzoin, and Cabreuva. Prosody London's Paper Flower Fan carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a bit of an acquired taste, a divisive floral with a quirky, almost vintage feel. It's not for everyone, but if you appreciate something unusual and distinctly clove-heavy, you might just fall for its charm.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Best For:
Spring

Its floral, warm spicy and yellow floral composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and unique, slightly spicy floral profile make it suitable for casual wear or an office where you want to stand out a little without being overwhelming. It's too distinctive and not typically 'fresh' enough for sport, and perhaps a bit too unusual for most formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Paper Flower Fan opens with a zingy zest of lemon and lime, quickly followed by the spicy, slightly peppery warmth of carnation and clove. The heart blossoms with lush ylang-ylang and delicate freesia, adding a creamy, yellow floral sweetness. As it dries, a soft, musky ambrette emerges, grounded by the subtle woody sweetness of cabreuva and the comforting, vanilla-like hint of benzoin, creating a warm, gently balsamic finish.
