Patchouli
Patchouli dominates from the first spray, its earthy leafiness cutting through the citrus brightness of orange, lemon and bergamot rather than blending with it.

By the editors · 2 min readPatchouli dominates from the first spray, its earthy leafiness cutting through the citrus brightness of orange, lemon and bergamot rather than blending with it. The heart keeps the patchouli central while jasmine and lily-of-the-valley inject clean white-floral lift and a touch of rose softens the edges, creating a cool-green accord that feels more barbershop than head-shop. In the base the patchouli returns, now drier and woodier, knitted to sandalwood’s creamy aspect and cedar’s pencil-shaving crispness so the composition ends on clean woods streak humus. Projection stays polite, a skin-close aura that shifts from citrus-green opening to woody-patchouli skin scent within four hours, making it office-safe yet recognisably patchouli-driven. Best in mild weather, it works for work, casual week-ends or travel when you want earthiness without baggage.
