L'Eau Papier is a well-executed clean fragrance that delivers soft, comforting mimosa and rice notes, making it a relatively safe blind buy for those seeking unisex, wearable scents. However, the prominent food-like quality and absence of promised paper/ink notes disappoint those expecting a more literary fragrance, and the intimate projection feels underwhelming for the luxury price.
Pozitiv
Clean, soft, and comforting scent with a grounded feel
Safe blind buy with good wearability for office and casual settings
Unique rice and mimosa combination that's unlike typical Diptyque fragrances
Intimate sillage and 4-5 hour longevity
Negativ
Food-forward scent (rice/sesame notes) that can smell like takeout rather than perfume to some
