By the editors · 2 min readPatchouli opens unmediated, dry and earthy with a slight medicinal-camphorous twang. The entry is patchouli-forward and immediately recognizable, with no softening citrus or floral lift.
Sandalwood and vetiver in the heart broaden the base of operations, adding creamy woodiness and grassy-smoky earthiness respectively. The patchouli's character shifts subtly here, gaining a smoother, more polished quality from the sandalwood's cream.
White musk, tonka, and vanilla in the base introduce a soft sweet-balsamic warmth that wraps the patchouli without burying it. The drydown is a creamy patchouli-vanilla over musk, with the earthy bitterness still present but softened. The result is a warmer, more wearable patchouli than purist versions, with strong projection and excellent longevity.
