Description

Apo Patchone (IFF) is a distinctive fragrance material known for its diffusive leathery character combined with soft floral nuances of lilac, rose and geranium. IFF describes it as a diffusive floral effect reminiscent of these three flowers, while perfumery references highlight its smooth leather character.

Its aroma combines soft leather, suede-like, rose, lilac, geranium, slightly green and subtly animalic facets. This unusual combination makes Apo Patchone particularly useful for connecting a floral heart with a leather or woody base. It can give leather accords a smoother, more elegant and less harsh character.

Apo Patchone is especially useful in leather, suede, floral, woody, chypre, amber and modern unisex fragrances. It can also modernize patchouli compositions and add texture to floral and woody frameworks.

Perfumers' Tip

Apo Patchone is particularly valuable for creating a smooth, elegant leather effect with a floral aura. Combine it with Suederal and Vertofix for a polished suede accord, or use it with Patchouli and woody materials to create a modern interpretation of classic leather-patchouli structures.

For a floral-leather composition, try Apo Patchone + Rose + Geranium + Jasmine + Suederal + Ambroxan. Lilac materials can emphasize its soft floral side, while Violet and Violet Leaf can reinforce its green-floral character.

For a darker leather accord, combine Apo Patchone + Labdanum + Patchouli + Tobacco Absolute + Timbersilk. This creates a warm, woody and sophisticated leather base while retaining the floral smoothness of Apo Patchone.

Apo Patchone is especially useful as a bridge between floral heart notes and leather/woody base notes. Its combination of leather and floral facets allows it to soften harder leather materials while giving floral compositions additional depth and texture.

IFF documentation identifies Apo Patchone Coeur as a fragrance ingredient. Current safety documentation should be consulted before commercial use; the available IFF SDS classifies the material for eye irritation, so appropriate handling precautions are important.
