Perfect comparison, R, because when I tried some nagormota oil, that’s exactly what it reminded me of: vetiver. Slightly tweaked.

Did it, R. Got out my Paestum Rose, Dzonka and Timbuktu. Also got out my Magnifique, too, so I had four references to compare.

Eureka, I found it. I found the papyrus! It’s earthy and woody the way vetiver is, but maybe a little softer. I was reading that it can have nuances of cinnamon, cedar and frankincense, and I can definitely wrap my nostrils around that idea.

Now I’m really psyched to try the new PG.

Yes! I couldn’t figure out the prices at PG’s website. And, admittedly, I’m a sucker for buying things off, say, Luckyscent, where I get samples with my order.

Yes, sounds unisex.

I liked Magnifique too. Don’t think it sold though!

And there’s also Lancome Magnifique.

I like Paestum OK, but I love Dzongkha and Timbuktu. I also see that L’Eau de Jatamansi — another top fave of mine — has papyrus listed in the notes. I see from your review, Robin, that it was created by a perfumer named Karine Vinchon.

Anyway, I’m destined to try this new PG fragrance. Several of theirs (Bois Blond, Felanilla, Iris Taizo, and L’Oiseau de Nuit) are among my faves.

I’m betting that wearer of this scent can be male or female. I’m a little cautious on the green scents, but if it’s got the woods, I’ll give it a sniff.
