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.

Its clean, inoffensive, and subtle character, combined with moderate projection, makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear. While elegant enough for some formal settings, its relaxed vibe makes it less ideal for high-stakes formal events. Low to medium longevity, as noted by many, prevents it from being a powerhouse but is perfect for gym or everyday use.

About

Fleur de Patchouli opens with a bright, almost juicy peony, quickly joined by a clean, smooth patchouli that avoids any 'dirty' or 'hippie' connotations. Guaiac wood in the base adds a warm, subtle smokiness, creating a balanced and elegant composition. It's a woody floral that feels both fresh and grounded, with a delightful sweetness that's never cloying.
