Novaya Zarya Patchouli Magique is an Eau de Parfum. Patchouli Magique opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Labdanum, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Novaya Zarya's Patchouli Magique carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it patchouli bomb that punches way above its price point. It's not a '60s hippie patch, but a sophisticated, woody, and earthy take that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much.

About

Patchouli Magique opens with a fleeting citrus zing from bergamot and lemon, quickly settling into a deep, woody heart. Dominant patchouli is joined by creamy sandalwood, resinous labdanum, and a smoky whisper of incense. The dry down introduces a gentle, warm vanilla and soft musk, rounding out the earthy intensity into something surprisingly cosy and rich, often described as dark chocolate or wet soil.
