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 a Statement verdict, a musk-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.

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.

Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, this scent is too bold for a typical office environment.

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.
