An Unexpected Take on Patchouli
Le Labo Patchouli 24 Eau de Parfum challenges traditional expectations of patchouli. Rather than placing patchouli at the forefront, this daring composition opens with an intense smoky leather accord where birch takes centre stage, creating one of the most distinctive fragrances in the Le Labo collection.
As the fragrance develops, earthy patchouli gradually emerges beneath the smoke, while soft vanilla smooths the composition with warmth and sensuality. The result is an artistic fragrance that is bold, memorable and unlike almost anything else in modern perfumery.
Fragrance Experience
The fragrance begins with a dramatic burst of smoky birch and dark leather, immediately creating a rugged yet refined character. As the scent settles, earthy patchouli quietly reveals itself, adding natural depth without overpowering the composition. A touch of creamy vanilla softens the smoky woods, creating a warm and addictive dry-down that lingers beautifully on the skin.
