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:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on warm spicy, woody and patchouli - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This isn't a casual scent; its warm, woody, and balsamic nature makes it too rich for daily wear in an office and entirely unsuitable for sport. It truly shines in intimate date settings or formal evening events where its unique character can be appreciated without overwhelming a large room.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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

Imagine stepping into a softly lit, ancient apothecary; that's Patchouli de Minuit. It opens with the dry, leathery kick of saffron and the spiritual haze of frankincense, ushering in a heart of aromatic lavender and a surprising twist of jammy davana. The true star, of course, is the patchouli base - earthy and dark, softened by creamy cashmeran and the vanillic depth of tonka bean. It's a warm, woody, and slightly balsamic journey from start to finish.
