Keiko Mecheri Patchoulissime is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Yann Vasnier. Keiko Mecheri's Patchoulissime carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive patchouli that some adore for its sophisticated lightness and others dismiss as a near-skin scent. If you're after a loud patchouli, this isn't it, but for a delicate take, it's a winner.

Scent Profile

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 longevity and light sillage make it suitable for office and casual wear without overwhelming. While elegant enough for formal settings, its understated nature might not stand out, and it's certainly not a sport scent.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with a bright, citrusy flash of bergamot that quickly ushers in a refined, airy patchouli. This isn't the heavy, earthy kind; instead, it's a softened, almost powdery take, beautifully blended with a subtle rose and a hint of sweet jasmine. As it settles, a warm, resinous benzoin emerges, providing a gentle, inviting sweetness, rounded out by a creamy sandalwood and a touch of sophisticated ambergris, creating a delicate yet persistent dry down.
