A PATCHOULI - OBVIOUS

A PATCHOULI - OBVIOUS

Patchouli wrapped in sandalwood, the past softened by the prism of time. The first imposes its rough, autumnal, damp, and leafy notes. The second, drier and rounder, balances this woody harmony. The essence of cade joins them, revealing itself in a halo of smoke to better mystify them. 

This exotic leaf, which reached our noses thanks to the Silk Road, intoxicated the bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century just as much as the hippies of the twentieth. Patchouli evokes a longing for elsewhere, for exoticism and mystery. Essence of paradoxes, its embalming side, rounded by tonka bean, sandalwood, and tolu balm, manages to reconcile rebellion and the "establishment." Never earthy, it recalls the dry leaves of the shrub just like the opulent silks that carried its sweet and intoxicating scent.

Customize your fragrance with layering

To create a unique perfume that matches your current desires, mood, or outfit, you can combine Obvious fragrances with each other. For a successful signature scent, Obvious recommends using two fragrances. 

Here are our scented suggestions for pairings with Un Patchouli.

• One Patchouli + One Pepper = A blend that reveals woody and incense facets for an ultra-dry and slightly smoky fragrance
• A Patchouli + A Rose = Patchouli makes the rose vintage, classic, and oriental with a cocoa facet
• A Patchouli + A Vanilla = Gourmand fragrance where vanilla enhances the tonka bean of patchouli, making it even softer. The leather facet rises and slightly evokes the smoky and leathery pod of vanilla
