Franck Boclet 2013 EDP
Patchouli
Franck Boclet Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Mélanie Leroux. Patchouli opens with Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, settles into a heart of Amber, Tonka Bean, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Franck Boclet's Patchouli carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Best Occasions
Given its strong longevity and above-average projection, this isn't a subdued office scent. It shines brightest for dates and formal events, where its rich, warm character makes a statement, though its bold, confident nature can also work for casual outings when you want to stand out.
