Smelling the picks
L'Eau Papier (2023) reads like warm milky musk on soft powdery cotton. In Philosykos Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 1996), expect sun-warmed fig leaves with creamy coconut, starting with fig leaf before cedar take over. Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 2013) is closest to bourbon vanilla cream warmed with smoky incense.
