Papyrus

Papyrus is an earthy, woody fragrance note derived from the papyrus plant, a tall, reed-like sedge native to the Nile River basin in Egypt. It has a distinctive, slightly smoky and balsamic aroma with hints of green, herbaceous notes.

Papyrus evokes a sense of ancient, mystical allure. It can create a warm, grounding, and meditative atmosphere, making it well-suited for relaxing, introspective moments. Fragrances featuring papyrus are often worn to convey a refined, sophisticated persona.

Papyrus is commonly used as a base note in fragrances, providing a rich, woody foundation. It is often paired with other earthy, resinous notes like frankincense, myrrh, or patchouli. Papyrus is a popular ingredient in many oriental, woody, and chypre-style perfumes.
