An Iso E Super with personality, Paper | Bold is an earthy and robust rendition. The combination of earthy vetiver, wet woods and Iso E Super is unmistakable and reminiscent of mossy woods after rain.
This is the Bold version of Paper — a powerful, room-filling rendition of its Balanced counterpart, infused with deep, dark notes that’ll make your presence known. Also try Paper | Personal and Paper | Balanced & Expressive.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Coming indoors after rain, with damp air still clinging to your coat: Paper | Bold carries that earthy woodland impression into a warm, occupied room. Its clean woody texture feels composed, while the darker vetiver and expansive presence keep it from becoming a quiet background scent.
How to wear
Cool weather suits its warm sandalwood and earthy vetiver. Start with one or two sprays on skin and let the fragrance settle before adding more; this Bold interpretation is designed to project beyond close conversation. In warm weather or enclosed spaces, use a lighter application to keep the woody presence measured.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to abstract woody fragrances but wanting more earthiness and weight than a sheer skin scent. It suits a taste for clean textures, creamy sandalwood and restrained sweetness, with vetiver providing a darker counterpoint to Iso E Super.

The nose
Donna Ramanauskas created Paper | Bold as a more expansive interpretation of her original Paper. Her approach here balances the abstract woody texture of Iso E Super with creamy sandalwood, adding cashmere musk, vanilla and vetiver for warmth and dimension without losing the fragrance’s elemental character.
Commodity’s story
Commodity approaches modern American perfumery through elemental names and straightforward fragrance discovery. Its Scent Space system makes projection part of the choice: Personal stays close, Expressive offers a balanced presence, and Bold reaches further. The emphasis is on choosing both a scent and how much space it occupies.
Paper | Bold’s concept
The original Paper began with the intimacy of writing a letter to a loved one, translating memory and warmth into woods and amber. For Paper | Bold, Ramanauskas amplified Iso E Super and sandalwood with musk, vanilla and vetiver. It emerged within Commodity’s Scent Space relaunch, which reinterpreted existing fragrances through different levels of projection.
Extra info
Its official name, Paper+, uses the plus sign to identify the Bold Scent Space. Bold refers to a change in composition and projection, not simply a higher perfume concentration. The Paper family also has different perfumer credits: Donna Ramanauskas created Paper and Paper+, while Jérôme Epinette created Paper−.
