Essential Parfums Patchouli Mania is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. The fragrance opens with Coriander, Davana, and Hazelnut, settles into a heart of Clearwood, Tea, and Cacao Pod, and dries down to a base of Cetalox, Vetiver, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Patchouli Mania: Favourite

This one's a proper grower, a sophisticated patchouli that manages to be both earthy and airy. Don't expect a typical heavy hitter; it's a subtle masterclass in making patchouli palatable, even for the naysayers.

Its moderate projection and smooth, clean patchouli accord make it suitable for office wear, being noticeable but not overwhelming. While it has an alluring quality for dates and casual outings, its earthy undertones might be less ideal for very formal events or active sport.

About

Opens with a distinctive nutty hazelnut paired with a sharp, green coriander that quickly gives way to a refined heart of tea and dark, unsweetened cacao. The base grounds it in a smooth, elegant patchouli accented by vetiver, leaving a woody, slightly earthy, yet clean trail. It’s far from the 'dirty hippie' patchouli, offering a modern, polished take on the classic note.
