Short profile
This molecularly distilled patchouli opens with a noticeably refined and clean profile, lacking the typical heavy, musty top notes of unrectified oils while displaying a characteristic camphoraceous lift. The core unfolds into a rich, dark woody-earthy character marked by vinous sweetness and nuanced depth. As it settles, it reveals a dry, cocoa-like facet that persists as an enduring baseline. It provides profound substance and foundation on a smelling strip over many hours.
Effect in a formula
It provides deep, earthy-woody anchoring and long-lasting foundation to fragrance compositions. It acts as an essential pillar in traditional chypres and amber orientals, while adding sophisticated maturity and tenacity to floral bouquets such as rose, as well as rich gourmand structures.
Use and dosage
Commonly incorporated at 1% to 10% within fragrance formulations, with higher dosages reaching up to 25% in chypre and oriental frameworks.
