Italian house Costume National will launch Paperplane, a new fragrance.
Paperplane, the new Costume National fragrance, is a tribute to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, an ode to the perfection of origami, homage to the memory and a sensory experience that insinuates itself into the deep of our feeling. Paperplane is the origin of wonder, the dream that becomes possible, the continuous movement that remains suspended in a corner of the mind bringing back ethereal images that left intact the desire for lightness, the emotion of tricking the force of gravity, of dominating the skies and imagining the exemplary arc, the infinite direction.
Paperplane was developed by perfumer Dominique Moellhausen. The notes include cotton flower, incense, pepper, musk, cypriol, sage, vetiver and amber.
Costume National Paperplane will be available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Hmmm…I think maybe Origami would have been a better name, or was it already taken? It would be much more evocative, and origami is an art form. In my experience, paper planes are usually very simple, not nearly as intricate as origami, and are something you make either because you are a child, because you are bored, or because you just want to be annoying.
Huh, I like the name! But it sounds like a clean cotton musk so I also don’t mind what they name it…they can just send me a bottle of Costume National 21 and I’ll be happy 🙂
I guess to me, paperplane sounds as if it would smell like printer paper, which pretty much smells like nothing.
Fair enough.
Sounds pretty nice to me. Hope it’s better than the Diptyque Papier, which was disappointing.
Worth a shot, although it will be much harder to find (for me, anyway).
Come to think of it, the only place I knew carried it is Barneys…but, I don’t think I’ll be looking too hard. 🤔
