Patchouli Indonesia

Patchouli Indonesia from The Merchant of Venice, composed by Marion Costero in 2022, is a woody fragrance built around patchouli, with aromatic and citrus facets in equal support.

Bergamot opens with a crisp, slightly bitter citrus brightness that lifts the darker material underneath. Patchouli then takes over: earthy, damp and slightly sweet, it smells of rich soil and dry leaves, with a faint chocolatey note in good-quality versions. Earthy notes underline that character, while tobacco adds a warm, leafy sweetness and cedar a dry, pencil-like structure that keeps it tidy.

It is worn by anyone. The earthy, woody profile suits autumn and winter, evenings and relaxed occasions, though the bergamot keeps it wearable on milder days. Those who love patchouli itself, rather than patchouli hidden in a sweet or floral blend, should find this Italian take straightforward and honest.
