Laboratorio Olfattivo Patchouliful is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Cécile Zarokian. Patchouliful opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Clove, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Iris, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Labdanum. Laboratorio Olfattivo's Patchouliful carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This perfume is a divisive one. It's either an absolute triumph of clean, sophisticated patchouli, or it's a medicinal mess. If you're a patchouli connoisseur, approach with an open mind; if you usually hate it, this is actually worth a sniff.

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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Patchouliful opens with a vibrant, spicy kick of clove and cinnamon, brightened by a whisper of bergamot. This quickly softens into a unique heart, where a 'clean' patchouli is beautifully rounded by creamy frangipani and powdery iris. The base settles into a warm, balsamic musk with a hint of cedar, maintaining a smooth, slightly sweet earthiness throughout its journey. Forget the dank, this is polished patchouli.
