Parfum:
Story of Patchouli
Thank you for participating in the Parfum: Story of Patchouli masterclass. Together with our Skins Experts, you have dived into the world of perfume and learned more about a unique ingredient: patchouli. You learned about the history, origin and characteristics of this ingredient. With ten extraordinary perfumes, you experienced different scents on the blotter and skin.
Scents are divided into scent families. The scent wheel to the right shows which families there are and how they are structured. Patchouli is a common and beloved ingredient in perfume, often used as a base ingredient. It always gives a lot of body to a perfume in the base. Therefore, we can often describe patchouli as earthy, smoky and woody. In addition to an earthy character, it can actually bring a lot of sensuality to perfumes.
To fully experience the versatility of patchouli, we introduced you to ten perfumes during the masterclass. We distinguish between creations in which patchouli is clearly evident and scents in which the patchouli fragrance is more deeply integrated. In the following perfumes, patchouli as an ingredient plays the leading role.
1. Le Labo | Baie 19
2. Kilian | Straight to Heaven
3. Diptyque | Tempo
4. Maison Crivelli | Patchouli Magnetik
5. Frederic Malle | Monsieur
Next, we have discovered the perfumes in which patchouli is more deeply rooted. Now that you have experienced this ingredient differently, which one do you prefer? When the element is prominent, or when it is part of a larger whole? In the following perfumes, the latter is the case.
1. Matiere Premiere | Radical Rose
2. Ex Nihilo | French Affair
3. Hermetica | Patchoulight
4. Memo | Oriental Leather
5. Byredo | 1996
