Les Néréides Patchouli Antique is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Patchouli Antique opens with Incense, settles into a heart of Cedar and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Les Néréides's Patchouli Antique carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one is definitely divisive. It's an authentic, old-school patchouli that some will adore for its nostalgic, earthy depth, while others will find it too 'musty' or 'old-fashioned'. If you're a patchouli purist, you'll likely be impressed, but this isn't for the faint of heart.

About

Imagine stepping into an antique shop, brimming with old wooden furniture and forgotten books. Patchouli Antique opens with a strong, deep camphoraceous patchouli, laced with an incense smoky richness. It mellows into a warm, earthy heart of cedar, before settling into a balsamic and mossy base with hints of sweet vanilla and resinous amber. It’s dark, complex, and utterly transportive.
