Dryad
Dryad by Papillon Perfumery is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as narcissus, oakmoss, jonquil, citron, galbanum, benzoin and vetiver, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Narcissus Green, hay-like and slightly animalic. Strange and beautiful.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Jonquil A narcissus cousin. Green, honeyed and faintly animalic underneath.
- Citron Thick-skinned citrus, more zest than juice. Waxy and bright.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
