Patchouli Essence

Perfume Parlour Patchouli Essence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Patchouli Essence opens with Patchouli, Green, and Orris, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Civet, and Marshmallow. Perfume Parlour's Patchouli Essence carries a Favourite verdict, a patchouli-led wear.

A budget clone of Vertus Sole Patchouli. The bright, clean, almost vetiver-like green patchouli with its hint of marshmallow sweetness captures the original's fresh take on patchouli, though Perfume Parlour renders it a touch simpler.

About

Patchouli Essence follows Vertus Sole Patchouli, a patchouli-dominant scent that, unusually, is fresh and clean rather than dark. It opens bright and camphorous with patchouli, green notes and orris, almost cough-drop herbal in the most pleasant way. A heart of patchouli and soft mimosa keeps the green-aromatic character before a base of patchouli, civet and marshmallow brings a very slight sweetness. The original is praised as a versatile, fresh-and-clean patchouli that works any time of year, with very good longevity and projection. This clone captures that bright green-patchouli signature and the touch of marshmallow sweetness, but the composition reads a little simpler and the projection sits closer to the skin with shorter wear. It's a clean, versatile patchouli that delivers Sole Patchouli's fresh charm for a fraction of the price.
