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.

While some find it wearable for work, its potent, earthy character and moderate sillage make it less ideal for office settings. It shines in casual and date scenarios where its unique, raw intensity can be appreciated without being overwhelming, though it's too distinct for formal events or sport.

About

A deep dive into the essence of patchouli, this fragrance opens with a bracing, almost medicinal greenness that quickly settles into rich, damp earth. Imagine a forest floor after heavy rain, with hints of dark chocolate and even a touch of mentholated freshness. It’s an unadulterated, raw take on the note, evolving from a vibrant plant to a deep, rooty base that’s both ancient and grounding.
