Patchouli reigns supreme at the heart of the White Patchouli fragrance
Originally from Indonesia, patchouli became known in England, under the Victorian era. Its leaves were then used in potpourri to protect clothing. Patchouli first made its mark in France in 1850. At that time, patchouli was inserted in packages of shawls from Indonesia. The patchouli then protected them from moths. & Nbsp; This powerful scent was taken over by those known as “Parisian casseroles”. Because mistresses of rich men used it to lure men into their beds, patchouli was called the “antechamber to hell.” It was not until the 60s and 70s that patchouli experienced its heyday. Associated with the hippie movement and “flower power”, patchouli was thus associated with sexual liberation. Today, patchouli is considered a rare and noble material. Rich and powerful, patchouli can boast of having incorporated many olfactory compositions. It gives off woody, earthy, camphoric and intense tones. “White Patchouli” begins with notes of bergamot mixed with the beauty of peony and some white flowers, then enhanced by coriander. Then, the heart of “White Patchouli” is very floral thanks to the presence of the rose, but its femininity is shaken by the sensuality of the ambrette.
