Le Patchouli Elixir

Some perfumes fade away, and others are remembered. This one belongs to the second kind. Conceived as a more concentrated reinterpretation of the maison's iconic patchouli, it wraps the skin in a powerful, sensual trail, warmed by noble woods and vanilla. A hypnotic fragrance, for those who wish to make patchouli a true olfactory signature.

Patchouli in all its intensity

This eau de parfum revisits the accords of the original patchouli in a more concentrated and enveloping version. True to the house's legacy, patchouli remains the heart of the composition, deeper and more captivating than ever. It is accompanied by woody, amber and vanilla notes that reinforce its natural warmth and give it relief, revealing a persistent trail that evolves elegantly on the skin. A creation designed for those who love rich, memorable perfumes with hypnotic charm.

The olfactory composition

Patchouli takes center stage from start to finish, supported by a fabric of warm woods and gourmand notes that unfold hour after hour on the skin.

Top note

• Patchouli essential oil
• Cedarwood

Patchouli essential oil asserts itself with intensity from the very first moment, while cedarwood extends this opening with a dry, woody tone.

Heart notes

• Sandalwood
• Vetiver

Sandalwood extends the woody facet with nobility, and vetiver adds a green, balanced touch.

Base notes

• Vanilla
• Tonka bean
• White musk
• Labdanum
• Tolu balsam

Vanilla and tonka bean spread a soft warmth, both musky and lightly gourmand, extended by labdanum and Tolu balsam.

Olfactory family: amber and woody.

A signature born in 1970

This creation follows directly in the line of the original patchouli, the absolute reference of the maison, created in 1970 by Zoé Coste: imitated countless times, never equaled. Where the original version unveils its boozy, woody facets with bold intensity, the elixir takes that signature even further, in a more concentrated and enveloping interpretation. Patchouli is the founding material of the house, and here it takes pride of place in its purest expression.

Trail, longevity and occasions

Patchouli is known for its excellent staying power, lasting for long hours throughout the day. In this intense version it gains even more depth and presence: it melts into the skin like a second skin and leaves a hypnotic mark. A unisex fragrance with a bold personality, it can be worn daily, but is especially suited to evenings and the cold season, when its warm, enveloping woodiness feels most comforting.

The art of layering

Its depth makes it an ideal base for modulating the trail alongside other creations from the maison:

• With a marine, iodized fragrance, it creates a striking contrast between the woody depth of patchouli and salty freshness.
• With a powdery, southern composition, it softens its intensity with a more luminous touch.
• With a vanilla amber, its base notes extend into a more enveloping oriental warmth.

How to use

Spray the fragrance on pulse points, where the skin's warmth releases and prolongs its trail.

• On the wrists
• On the neck
• On the inside of the elbows
