Real Patchouly

Real Patchouly by Bois 1920 is a woody fragrance first of all, with small touches of sweetness, musk, herbs and amber. It was released in 2005 and is worn by anyone.

Cedar opens it with a dry, clean, pencil-shaving woodiness. In the heart, patchouli takes centre stage with its earthy, slightly damp, dark-chocolate character, supported by sandalwood's creamy smoothness and thyme's herbal, aromatic sharpness. The base turns warmer and softer: tobacco brings a dry, honeyed depth, vanilla and amber a gentle sweetness, and musk a smooth, skin-like finish that rounds off the earthiness.

Grounded and warm, it suits autumn and winter best, and works for evenings, relaxed weekends and occasions where a calm, mature scent feels right. It will appeal to anyone who likes patchouli but wants it polished and balanced with soft woods and a little sweetness, rather than raw or heady, and who appreciates a classic, understated style.
