The inspiration of the patchouli spirit perfume

With Patchouli Spirit, Patricia of Nicolai wanted to reveal "the sensual and radiant soul of the patchouli" through a more listening and amber facet. The composition is based on an overdose of patchouli of Indonesia enriched with a "core of patchouli", a rare fraction that highlights the most noble facets of the raw material.

The olfactory signature

The fragrance opens onto a glow of angelica and citrus fruits that brings freshness and light. Very quickly, a beautiful rose of Turkey envelopes the patchouli, while the incense brings a smoke and spiritual dimension to the whole.

In the bottom, vanilla, dry amber, sandalwood and ambroxan prolong the composition in a hot, enveloping and particularly addictive register. The result is a more round patchouli, more velvety and solar than the conventional interpretations of this material.

The olfactory sensation

Patchouli Spirit evokes a patchouli warmed by the sun. Where intense patchouli plays more on the contrast between aromatic freshness and eastern depth, Patchouli Spirit favors sensuality and heat. We find facets of moist undergrowth, noble resins, amber pink and melting vanilla, in a rich and sophisticated wake.

The overall feel is that of a perfume:

warm and bright,

amber and slightly liquorous,

wooded, softwood and sensual,

With a very high French perfume elegance.
