Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Patchouli Absolu EDP
Tom Ford Patchouli Absolu is a divisive beast: some hail it as the ultimate patchouli masterpiece, claiming it's a deep, earthy, nuclear powerhouse. Others find it harsh, outdated, and frankly, a bit of a stank. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who love their patchouli 'dirty' and potent, this one's a cult classic, if you can find it.

Our Verdict - No.713 Patchouli Absolu Parfum
Eden's No.713 goes after Tom Ford's discontinued Patchouli Absolu - a rich, resinous patchouli built up with woody, earthy and mossy facets rather than the dry, hippie-incense version most people know. It's a respectable stand-in for a scent that now sells second-hand for hundreds.

Season and Occasion Fit

Patchouli Absolu

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a heavy, projecting fragrance, making it unsuitable for office wear where it could be overwhelming. Its dark, sophisticated character and potent sillage lean heavily towards formal events and special occasions, though some find it sexy enough for a bold date night scent.
