L'Eau Papier - 淡香水

The rice steam note is what got me—it’s soft and cozy, but the mimosa keeps it from being sleepy. I sprayed it on at 8am and could still catch whiffs of the blond woods on my scarf at dinner.

It sits so close to the skin that it feels less like a perfume and more like a warm, clean linen shirt you’ve worn all day. The mimosa and blond woods give it a soft, powdery glow that lasts for hours without ever shouting.

The rice steam note really comes through in the first few minutes, but it's the soft white musk that lingers on my collar all day. I keep catching warm, woody hints of the mimosa hours later, and it never turns sharp or powdery on my skin.
