About the fragrance

Paper Passion by the Wallpaper* STEIDL collaboration is an olfactory expression of a love for books.

Launched in 2012 as an eau de parfum, it is the result of a collaboration between the German brand, iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, and perfumer Geza Schoen.

This unisex fragrance redefines what perfume can smell like.

The creators drew inspiration from the scent of freshly printed sheets of paper—that elusive aroma familiar to every book lover.

Paper Passion is more than just a fragrance; it is a true meditation through scent, designed to bring the same sense of relaxation as immersing yourself in a captivating novel.

The packaging takes the form of a book-shaped box with bright red pages printed with essays about books, making its appearance an extension of the concept.

Geza Schoen, known for his love of minimalist and innovative compositions, created a unique bouquet that belongs to the fougère and woody fragrance families.

The fragrance’s trail is subtle, but this very intimacy makes it an ideal companion for quiet evenings or a workday at your desk.

If you love Paper Passion, consider similar compositions: Escentric Molecules Molecule 02, Juliette Has A Gun Not A Perfume, and Byredo Super Cedar—they also play with single notes and tactile sensations.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The Paper Passion pyramid is built around just five components, yet each plays a key role. The top accord—paper—creates the dry, dusty sensation of a freshly printed page.

Woody notes add warmth and structure, while amber brings a soft, resinous sweetness.

Ozone and osmanthus refresh the composition with a light floral sparkle, while oil (ethyl linoleate) recreates the scent of printing ink and bookbinding glue.

Together, these notes create a remarkably accurate illusion of the scent of a new book.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance.

Paper Passion is a rather interesting fragrance. It smells of ambroxan, to which a bit of iso e super and cedar have been added. The choice of ambroxan as the main component is not accidental, as it has light notes of old paper, wood, and even vanillin. But these nuances are so subtle that they are difficult to catch without careful analysis.

It turns out that this is molecular perfumery, which is almost odorless for those who don't perceive ambroxan, but at the same time leaves a gorgeous trail for those who do. For people with normal sensitivity, it might seem like a strange scent, almost imperceptible, but with hints of something more.

Here, imagination begins to work: someone might catch the smell of books in fresh air, while others might detect the aroma of glossy magazines or printed photographs. Personally, Paper Passion reminds me of an ambroxan broth with a lonely cedar chip floating in it. Overall, the feeling is ambiguous and mysterious

This is just another variation on the molecule theme. Geza Schoen, it seems, doesn't want to bother making something truly original. It turned out to be something in between 01 and 02 Escentric. The scent isn't bad, but it's completely uninnovative
3/5

At first, you smell a fresh book, as if it just came out of the printing press. The first few minutes this is really pleasing, but then something strange appears, like a puff pastry where molecules are mixed with an eccentric. I don't know how to explain it, but in the end, a strange aftertaste remains!!!
2/5

This fragrance, in my opinion, is just another marketing ploy. There's no magic in it, just ordinary synthetic musk that isn't impressive. The longevity, of course, is amazing, but what's the point if the scent itself leaves much to be desired? 🤷‍♀️
5/5

This fragrance is simply captivating, I want to inhale it again and again. If we talk about its characteristics, for me it resembles fresh printing ink. It has notes of freshly spilled ink, and, of course, the smell of paper is indispensable. This combination creates a unique sensation that makes you think and inspires something new
5/5

I use this fragrance every day, like a regular perfume. Honestly, what I like most about it is that it combines perfectly with other scents. It's just SUPER
5/5

You definitely should try this perfume, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It's simply amazing, reminiscent of fresh, newly printed sheets of white paper, clean and slightly infused with oud oil. It's the oud that I hear very clearly in it
4/5

This fragrance is certainly clean, but not in the sense of being transparent. Rather, it resembles the smell of old newspaper or paper. Woody notes are clearly audible in it, creating this papery sensation. As a result, a truly original and interesting fragrance has appeared on the shelves, which may attract the attention of lovers of conceptual things 🌧️
4/5

The first notes really resemble the smell of an old book, but they quickly disappear, giving way to a juniper blend that's somewhat similar to Escentric 02 and Molecule 01. I didn't notice anything particularly new in this fragrance. But, in my opinion, it's quite pleasant. As far as I know, it can only be bought in a 50 ml volume
