In 2003, Michel Almairac released the instantly iconic Gucci pour Homme, a boldly warm and woodsy men's scent featuring a proprietary "papyrus wood" accord that defied the fresh, synthetic trends of the time to become a modern classic. Now, almost two decades later, Almairac returns to his beloved creation through a niche fragrance lens- with an emphasis on smoky, spicy complexity- and the result is Papyrus Oud, a vision of masculine elegance and warm sophistication.
The key to Papyrus Oud's timeless appeal is evident in the east-meets-west nature of its composition, with classically French floral and aromatic notes of lavender, geranium, oakmoss and jasmine injecting vibrant elegance into the luxuriously Middle Eastern melange of fiery spice, papyrus, agarwood, and incense. The result is a scent that feels full but never heavy, distinctive but smooth and surprisingly easy to wear- a true signature scent that, while leaning masculine, smells out-of-this-world good on just about anyone. Whether you've long missed Gucci pour Homme or are simply looking for something that casts aside the trends of the day for something better, Papyrus Oud is a gift from above.
