Frequently Asked Questions

Why does patchouli smell like dirt?

Patchouli is a natural leaf from the mint family that contains high amounts of patchoulol, an organic compound that gives it its signature damp, earthy and rich soil like aroma. Modern perfumery often filters this to highlight its cleaner, chocolate like facets.

What is the difference between vintage and modern patchouli?

Vintage patchouli is heavy, dark and intensely medicinal, closely tied to 1960s counterculture. Modern patchouli is molecularly distilled to strip away the harsh, damp edges, leaving a clean, sophisticated and velvety woody base.

What notes pair best with patchouli?

Patchouli pairs exceptionally well with sweet notes like vanilla, rose and amber. The earthy depth of the patchouli cuts through the sweetness, preventing the fragrance from becoming cloying while dramatically increasing its sillage.
