Our verdict on Essence de Patchouli: Acquired

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.
