Description

Patchouli Accord is a rich and sophisticated fragrance composition inspired by the distinctive character of patchouli leaves and patchouli essential oil.

It combines earthy, woody, warm, slightly spicy, musky and balsamic facets to create a deep and elegant fragrance effect. The accord can provide both body and depth, making it a valuable foundation for a wide range of fragrance styles.

Patchouli is especially important in woody, oriental, amber, chypre and floral fragrances. A well-balanced patchouli accord can add warmth and complexity without making the composition excessively earthy.

Perfumers' Tip

Patchouli Accord is excellent for building a deep, earthy and sophisticated woody base. Pair it with Bergamot and Oakmoss for a classic chypre direction, or combine it with Rose and Jasmine for a rich floral-patchouli composition.

For a modern woody fragrance, try Patchouli Accord + Cedarwood + Ambroxan + Iso E Super + Cashmeran. Cypriol and Vetiver can intensify the earthy character, while Vanillin and Benzoin provide warmth and sweetness.

Use it carefully at higher concentrations, as its distinctive earthy character can quickly become dominant in a formula.
