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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The strong patchouli, woods, and incense make it shine in cooler weather, especially fall and winter, while its floral heart provides enough lift for transitional spring days. It can be too heavy and earthy for hot summer climates.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

With its sophisticated and assertive patchouli and floral blend, this fragrance excels for formal settings and romantic evenings, but could be overpowering for sporty or very casual wear. Office suitability depends on personal confidence and environment.

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.

About

White Patchouli Eau de Parfum opens with a crisp, peppery freshness of bergamot and coriander, soon enveloped by luminous white peony and the creamy nuance of white flowers. The heart is a lush tapestry of rose and jasmine, dusted with ambrette seed, before the fragrance plunges into a base dominated by earthy patchouli, smoky incense, and a woody finish. Sophisticated yet mysterious, it projects an aura of bohemian luxury, blending classic chypre roots with a modern, assertive edge.
