Patchouli of the Underworld

Patchouli of the Underworld is a spicy leather from the British house Electimuss, released in 2022 and composed by Kevin Mathys. Everyone who describes it calls it spicy, two thirds add leather, and a third each mention woody, floral, resinous and citrus. It is worn by anyone.

Mandarin orange and pink pepper open it with a short, bright, slightly fizzy burst. Black pepper and carnation then take over, the pepper dry and sharp, the carnation clove-like and warmly spiced. Patchouli sits at the centre, earthy and dark, but the base is what defines it: labdanum and cistus bring a sweet, resinous amber, styrax adds balsamic smoke, and leather and castoreum give an animalic, slightly tarry depth.

There are no community reports yet on how long it lasts or how far it projects. Leather, resins and pepper point to cold weather and evenings, and to people who like dark, dry, smoky scents.
