Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Patchouli 1969 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Patchouli 1969 opens with Bitter Orange, Petitgrain, Patchouli, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Lotus, and Elemi, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier's Patchouli 1969 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet refined, Patchouli 1969 isn't your grandad's patchouli. Some find it a clean, elegant take, others yearn for something dirtier. This isn't the Woodstock experience some reviews hint at.

Scent Profile

Composition

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 sillage and 'clean' patchouli accord make it surprisingly suitable for the office, a point highlighted by several reviewers. It's versatile enough for casual wear, though its sophisticated character might be a bit subdued for a formal event or too heavy for sport.

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

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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 brisk, bright pop of bitter orange and petitgrain, quickly joined by the spicy warmth of cardamom. The initial zestiness gives way to a surprisingly transparent patchouli, softened by the subtle floral hints of rose and lotus, and a balsamic elemi resin adding depth. The journey culminates in a smooth, creamy drydown of sandalwood, musk, and a whisper of vanilla, ensuring a polished finish.
