Paper | Personal is an ode to writing a letter to a loved one. I wanted to make this fragrance feel personal and very intimate. I created the scent around Iso E Super, a beautiful note that delivers a gorgeous warm skin feel throughout the composition. To deepen this feeling, I layered musk with fresh jasmine petals and the warmth of amber for texture and depth.” — perfumer Jerome Epinette
This is the Personal version of Paper, for those who prefer a subtle, intimately-projecting fragrance that invites closeness. Also try Paper | Balanced & Expressive and Paper | Bold.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
For quiet hours spent reading beside someone, when conversation comes in pauses rather than competing with the room. The transparent woods and warm, musky texture suit that close proximity: a presence noticed when someone leans nearer, not an announcement on arrival.
How to wear
A restrained choice for mild weather, with woody amber warmth that also suits cooler days. Start with one or two sprays on the chest or inner arms to preserve its close-wearing character. Apply to skin rather than relying on a broad spray over clothing; intimacy is the intended effect.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to minimalist woody fragrances, warm skin scents and understated musk rather than overt sweetness or a large scent trail. Its transparent Iso E Super character suits a pared-back aesthetic and a preference for perfume that feels personal rather than performative.

The nose
Jérôme Epinette is known for precise, streamlined compositions that give distinctive materials room to breathe. His work includes Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique and Le Labo’s Thé Noir 29. For Paper | Personal, he placed Iso E Super at the center, using musk, jasmine petals and amber to create warmth and intimacy rather than a pronounced trail.
Commodity’s story
Commodity is a modern American perfume house built around elemental names and the idea that simplicity is luxury. Its Scent Space system makes projection part of the choice: Personal stays close, Expressive reaches further and Bold amplifies the presence. Discovery kits extend this straightforward approach to finding a fragrance.
Paper | Personal’s concept
Epinette imagined Paper | Personal as the olfactory equivalent of writing a letter to a loved one. Iso E Super supplies the warm, skin-like center, while musk, jasmine petals and amber deepen its intimate texture. The fragrance arrived with Commodity’s 2021 Scent Space relaunch, distinct from the earlier perfume bearing the Paper name.
Extra info
Commodity styles this fragrance as Paper−: the minus sign identifies its Personal Scent Space. Despite the shared name, it is distinct from the original Paper, released in 2013 and credited to Donna Ramanauskas.
