Short profile

A wood-led patchouli with an earthy foundation, presented with less camphor and less heavy, raw earthiness than conventional steam-distilled oil. Its development becomes gentler and more integrated, with a mint-like nuance sometimes emerging. The overall impression is clean and focused rather than weighty, while retaining a recognisable patchouli character. Fraterworks rates both strength and blend impact at 4/10 and positions it as a base note; a separate opening-to-dry-down blotter sequence is not described.

Effect in a formula

Provides a patchouli base character with reduced earthy weight, allowing a cleaner woody emphasis in the composition. Its moderate strength and blend impact support a measured contribution rather than an inherently dominating effect. The supplier particularly identifies woody constructions, contemporary amber-oriental fragrances and chypres as suitable applications.

Fraterworks reports an average concentration of 0.97% within the fragrance compound. This is a formulation reference, not an IFRA limit; the page supplies no separate ranges for trace additions, accord building or deliberate overdosing.

Practical tip: For finished alcohol-based fragrances, the supplier's general processing advice is to allow maturation for as long as one month, then chill overnight in a moderately cold freezer and perform fine filtration. This is intended to clear haze or particulate matter, not a product-specific claim that this extract will become cloudy.
