H&M H&M Makassar Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Olivier Pescheux. H&M Makassar Patchouli opens with Citrus, Violet Leaf, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. H&M's H&M Makassar Patchouli carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This discontinued H&M gem is a patchouli powerhouse that's adored by its fans for its niche quality at a bargain price, but it's not for the faint of heart or those who prefer something overtly sweet.

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.

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it versatile for various settings, though its strong, earthy character means it might be a bit much for a formal office. It truly shines for evening wear and dates, as it's often described as dark, mysterious, and perfect for autumn nights.

About

Makassar Patchouli opens with a surprising medicinal dryness from the lavender and violet leaf, quickly joined by citrus, which mellows into a woody heart. The journey culminates in a warm, sweet, and earthy drydown of prominent patchouli, softened by amber and a comforting vanilla. It's an intriguing evolution from sharp to smooth.
