By the editors · 2 min readLavender and patchouli open with the patchouli already dominant, dry and earthy with a slight camphorous edge from the lavender. There's nothing subtle about the entry: this is patchouli-forward from the first second.
The heart concentrates the patchouli further, layered with a deepening earthy-mossy base of oakmoss, vetiver, and benzoin. Sandalwood and cedar add structural woodiness, while benzoin lends a faint resinous sweetness that keeps the composition from going purely austere.
Musk in the drydown smooths the seams. The result is a dense, head-shop patchouli with chypre bones, dry and earthy throughout. Cool weather, casual wear, and patchouli enthusiasts; projection is moderate but persistent.
