A fragrance for deciphering ancient manuscripts in a wood-paneled study, with a cup of hot tea and a pipe full of fine burley on the desk.

This perfume is centered on a cypriol, which is closely related to the ancient Egyptian papyrus plant. As wood-based paper decomposes, it emits a faint sweet smell caused by vanillin and benzaldehyde, among other chemicals. This fragrance honors that classic smell, and the feeling that it evokes.
