Patchouli Leaves

Patchouli holds the opening alone, with no citrus to announce it, and the rest of the composition softens it: vanilla, ambergris, cistus. It turns sweet without ever leaving the soil.

Tuxedo

A green, peppery opening over a base of patchouli and ambergris. The smoked patchouli lends a dry depth, far from the sweet patchouli of gourmands.
