Fragrances of Ireland Patrick is a Cologne launched in 1999. Patrick opens with Green Notes, Spicy Notes, Citrus, and Fern, settles into a heart of Rose and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Fragrances of Ireland's Patrick carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This Irish powerhouse is a green, mossy, soapy fougère that transports you to a damp countryside. It's divisive; some find it a classy, natural gem, others think it smells like grandad's aftershave or boggy earth. If you're into old-school barbershop scents, this is an affordable must-try.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, Patrick is versatile enough for most settings. Its fresh, clean, and green profile makes it excellent for casual wear, daytime, and even sport, but its old-school barbershop vibe might not be for every date or formal event.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Patrick opens with a burst of fresh green notes and bright citrus, evoking a dewy, fern-laden landscape. The heart introduces a subtle floral blend of rose and carnation, adding a touch of classic sophistication. As it dries down, a robust base of oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli emerges, creating a rich, earthy, and distinctly mossy character, with a clean, soapy undertone that lingers.
