Patchouli Noir Solid
 
Alternative Views:


Scent Family: Musky
A sumptuous perfume radiating a dark sensuality, Patchouli Noir is the perfect ménage à trois of boozy, woody and musky facets, draped in smoke.

This rich patchouli is created from four patchouli essences: patchouli absolute, patchouli essential oil, the natural isolate patchoulyl acetate, and the one-of-a-kind hundred-year-old antique patchouli. The sweet smoky darkness of pine tar causes the patchouli to smolder in the most fetching way!

Each aspect of this magnificent medley of patchoulis is enriched: the boozy facet by cognac and spikenard; the fruity woodiness, by a blend of blood orange, tomato leaf and blood cedarwood, and the musky by ambergris and ambrettolide. A wisp of floral counterpoint comes from the superb ylang concrete. Each facet is full of rich mystery and darkness, which is magnified many-fold when they are merged.

The creamy texture of our solid perfume, in a base of organic unfiltered beeswax and organic jojoba oil, is a superb medium for Patchouli Noir, where its opulent and extravagant lusciousness is worn close to the body.

A most extraordinary new fragrance, Patchouli Noir is unexpected and intriguing, and unlike any other existing patchouli fragrance. Extraordinary, symphonic complexity, remarkably calming, exceptional, unique, it transcends expectations. A patchouli perfume which will entrance even those who would normally eschew the substance.- Ida Meister, CaFleureBon

Some may mistake the opening for oud or incense, but within minutes, you are transported to an undisturbed forest, damp leaves underfoot and tall green pines, tinged with moss and mint and the distant indoor luxury of a warming auburn cognac. My only critique is that other patchoulis won’t smell the same to me after this. Once you experience it, you will believe that patchouli is a shape shifter, a jinn, a sorcerer’s plant with many faces and many facets, and nobody leads it blinking into the light, quite like Mandy Aftel.- Samantha Scriven, I Scent You A Day
