Le Patchouli

There are scents you never forget because they carry an entire era within them. Warm, enveloping and deeply earthy, this perfume was born in the seventies and instantly became a signature recognisable among thousands. Wearing it means letting yourself be carried away by the bohemian spirit of a generation that dreamed of travel, freedom and boldness: a scent that transcends time without losing an ounce of its character.

An icon of perfumery born in the 70

Against the current of its time, the maison decided to place patchouli at the very heart of the composition and turn it into a true signature. Woody, amber and enveloping, this intense eau de toilette quickly became an emblematic creation by Reminiscence. Paired with cedar, patchouli unfolds a warm, deep scent, immediately recognisable, which has managed to seduce both women and men alike across several generations.

A unisex, universal fragrance, whose authority has been recognised by the most expert voices in the industry:

"In my opinion, Le Patchouli by Reminiscence is bold, iconic and timeless." — Annabelle Guy, Fragrance Development Director at ROBERTET.

Patchouli, the star ingredient of the composition

The perfume rests on a blend of warm ingredients in which patchouli reigns supreme. Extracted from the leaves of the tropical plant, harvested, dried and distilled, its essential oil stands out as a true olfactory pillar from the very first notes. It is joined by sandalwood and cedarwood, enhanced in the heart by vetiver. At the base, vanilla, white musks and tonka bean build a sensual and addictive base, both timeless and modern.

Trail and longevity

Patchouli is renowned in perfumery for its excellent fixative properties. Once sprayed onto pulse points, the fragrance lingers on the skin for long hours, evolving over time: the raw, earthy effect of the opening gives way to a softer, slightly sweeter warmth. Warm and opulent, it is a perfume that shines especially in autumn and winter, both for evening wear and for those who adopt it as an everyday signature.

How to use

Spray the fragrance onto pulse points, where the warmth of the skin releases and prolongs its trail.

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

The art of layering

Its deep character makes it an ideal base to combine with other creations from the maison and personalise its trail:

• With a musk perfume, it gains in sensual depth.
• With a vanilla-infused amber, its base notes unfold in a more luminous softness.
• With a spicy, woody composition, it is enriched without betraying its characteristic depth.
