Essential Parfums Patchouli Mania is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Patchouli Mania opens with Davana, Coriander, and Hazelnut, settles into a heart of Clearwood, Cacao Pod, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cetalox, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Essential Parfums's Patchouli Mania carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
