Patchouli
Patchouli smells earthy, dark and richly woody with chocolate-like depth and hippie-era associations, though fine patchouli is far more refined. Aged patchouli develops incredible smoothness. In perfumery it anchors chypres, orientals and bohemian compositions. In India, patchouli's earthy richness suits winter and monsoon. In summer, it can feel heavy, so choose lighter doses. From head-shop to haute parfumerie, patchouli endures.
