Hanji by Raw Contrast: An Intriguing Woody Aromatic for All

Raw Contrast is set to release Hanji in 2026, a scent designed for both men and women. It falls under the woody aromatic olfactive family and is built around an unexpected paper note.

The fragrance combines green mint, leather, cypriol (nagarmota), paper and musk, with accords that feel musky, leathery, green, woody, earthy, animalic and softly powdery.

Hanji is a scent that clearly explores the texture of paper. It's not a clean, airy perfume; it's a woody aromatic with a tactile, almost rough-hewn personality. You get the sensation of paper fibres, raw leather and damp earth all at once.

The green mint at the top cuts through with welcome freshness. Then the leather and cypriol kick in, giving the composition a grounded, earthy warmth. The musk weaves it together, making the scent sit close to the skin with a soft, powdery nuance. The balance between fresh spice and animalic depth is striking.

Looking at the official accords, you'll see musky, leathery, green, woody, earthy, animalic, papery, powdery, fresh and fresh spicy. That's a generous list, but it reflects how layered this fragrance truly is. As a unisex offering, it works on a wide range of skin types and styles.

So far, Hanji has a rating of 4.0 out of 5, based on two reviews. It's early days, but the initial feedback highlights its originality and how well it wears in everyday situations.

The sillage is close to moderate, making it suitable for an office or dinner setting. But because of its distinctive paper-leather accord, it leaves an impression. For those who appreciate niche-leaning woody aromatics, Hanji is well worth a thorough wearing.

Ideal for fragrance lovers who appreciate a unisex scent with a mix of freshness and grit.

Hanji is a memorable woody aromatic, giving you the texture of paper and the warmth of leather in one composed, modern scent. Try it on skin to believe it.
