Patchouli Premier

Patchouli Premier, created by Jehanne Rigaud for her own house, is a woody fragrance that places patchouli at the centre of every stage. Wood is the defining impression for everyone who describes it, while a minority also notice sweetness, green, musky and resinous facets.

Patchouli appears in the top, heart and base, showing its different sides: earthy and damp at first, then darker and woodier, and finally soft and slightly chocolatey. In the opening, cedar adds a dry, pencil-like crispness, myrtle a fresh, herbal and slightly camphorous note and myrrh a bittersweet, balsamic resin. The heart brings sandalwood's creamy smoothness and oakmoss's earthy, forest-floor greenness. The base is softened by vanilla's gentle sweetness and musk's clean, skin-close finish.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who love patchouli and want to experience it fully. The profile points to autumn and winter, evenings and quiet occasions. Those who enjoy patchouli-centred compositions with myrrh, oakmoss and a soft vanilla-musk base should find it deep and grounding.
