This one's a proper grown-up patchouli, woody and amber-rich without being too dark or earthy. It's a bit of a chameleon, with some finding it a dead ringer for Coromandel's sophisticated cousin, and others detecting a completely distinct cedar focus. Divisive on the exact composition, but generally well-regarded for quality and performance.

Seriously polarising, Molinard's "Patchouli Intense" is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions - this is no shy wallflower. For true patchouli lovers, it’s an absolute stunner, but if sweet Gourmands aren't your jam, steer clear.
