Perris Monte Carlo Essence de Patchouli is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Essence de Patchouli opens with Rose and Geranium, settles into a heart of Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Perris Monte Carlo's Essence de Patchouli carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive take on patchouli, this one. Some find it a clean, refined, and exquisite woody-floral-musk. Others? A dusty, chocolatey, powdery concoction that misses the mark entirely. You'll either adore its unique spin or wonder what all the fuss is about.

About

Essence de Patchouli opens with a gentle floral embrace of rose and geranium, quickly ushering in a prominent, clean patchouli heart. This isn't your average earthy, dirty patch; it's softened and smoothed by powdery iris and warm musky woods like guaiac and cedar in the drydown, sometimes revealing an unexpected chocolatey nuance. The labdanum and coumarin contribute an amber-like depth and a subtle sweetness that rounds out the composition.
