Imperial Patchouli opens with Spicy Notes, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Floral Notes and Green Notes, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Patchouli.

A surprisingly decent clean scent that's all about that earthy-woody patchouli married with fresh spice and citrus. Don't expect fireworks, but it's a solid everyday choice.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imperial Patchouli opens with a bright spark of bergamot and mandarin, quickly spiced up before green and subtle floral notes emerge. The heart is where the clean, almost soapy earthiness of patchouli takes hold, grounding the perfume firmly in woody territory. Expect a slightly damp, rich patchouli that's not too heavy, softened by those lingering green and citrus hints for an everyday, approachable wear.
