The Javenese Patchouli Eau de Parfum is a composition of intense and earthy contrasts. Firmenich perfumer Frank Voelkl explores the versatility of the eponymous ingredient and presents a fragrance that is both mysterious and familiar with a highly concentrated olfactory character.
The Eau de Parfum opens sweet and savory with notes of basil that provide a familiar freshness. Blossoms and leaves of cistus form the heart note. Aromatic resin enhances the dark, herbaceous quality of the fragrance. The fragrance concludes with patchouli, finely extracted from hand-picked Javanese patchouli leaves for hyper-real, immersed concentration.
The power and sophistication of modern Italian design is reflected in the perfume's bottle, crafted from luxurious smoked glass and featuring the classic black magnetic cap. The perfume is refined by brilliant gold-colored metallic logo accents.
