About

A complex beast, Patchouli Intense opens with a bracing, almost peppery greenness from geranium and lavender, brightened by a hint of orange. The heart introduces a vibrant, clean patchouli, far from the earthy or chocolatey type, woven with spicy cinnamon and a subtle rose. It settles into a refined, long-lasting dry-down of warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and a touch of vanilla, maintaining its distinctive aromatic edge throughout.
