Patch Absolue

Patch Absolue, a 2026 release from the Swiss house Tauer Perfumes composed by Andy Tauer, is above all spicy, with a woody layer and lighter sweet, resinous and amber touches. It is worn by anyone.

Cloves, cinnamon and spices open with a warm, rich and slightly medicinal spice, while boozy notes add a liqueur-like depth. Patchouli, the centre of the composition, brings an earthy, dark, slightly sweet and chocolatey richness. The base is warm and balsamic: benzoin gives a vanilla-like resinous glow, vanilla a creamy sweetness, sandalwood a smooth woodiness and amber a golden warmth.

As the name suggests, this is an intense, concentrated take on patchouli, wrapped in spice. It suits autumn and winter, evenings and cosy occasions, and should appeal to patchouli lovers and anyone who enjoys deep, spiced, resinous fragrances with a boozy warmth.
