Patchouli Magnetik

Patchouli Magnetik by Maison Crivelli, created by Quentin Bisch in 2022, is a gourmand patchouli: earthy, woody and leathery, but softened with fruit and vanilla. The result feels dense and warm rather than hippyish.

Rather than a classic top-to-base pyramid, the notes are presented together. White peach and peach give a velvety, ripe sweetness that meets patchouli head-on, turning its damp-earth character into something smoother. Gardenia adds a creamy floral thread. Leather brings a slightly smoky, supple texture, while vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood supply warmth, resinous sweetness and a soft woody cushion that holds the scent together as it dries down.

It is a heavyweight on skin. Most wearers describe the longevity as eternal or long lasting, and the sillage as strong, with a good number calling it enormous. Voters place it in autumn and winter and favour it for the evening. Worn by anyone, it suits nights out, dinners and cold-weather occasions where a rich, lingering trail is welcome; one or two sprays go a long way.
