Gallagher Fragrances Behold, Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Daniel Gallagher. Gallagher Fragrances's Behold, Patchouli carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive, unique, and powerful, Behold, Patchouli is a love-it-or-hate-it chocolate orange bomb. Some find it a masterpiece of patchouli, others a 'dirty old-lady' or 'pissy' cleaning product. Not a blind buy, this one demands a try before you commit.

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.

Casual Formal

This beast-mode fragrance with strong sillage and long-lasting performance is far too potent for office wear. Its unique, intense character makes it ideal for dates and special evening occasions, while the gourmand aspects lend themselves to casual autumn and winter wear.

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

A bold, almost edible opening of bitter orange and clementine smothers you in a rich, dark chocolate gourmandise. As it settles, creamy sandalwood, tonka bean, and cream soda emerge, softening the edges before a deep, earthy patchouli takes centre stage, laced with resinous frankincense and labdanum for an almost animalic undertone.
