Patchouli Elixir
by Reminiscence
Patchouli Elixir delivers a focused, earthy patchouli experience with woody depth and subtle balsamic sweetness. The scent starts with a sharp, resinous patchouli that feels immediately familiar but less intense than some classic versions, mellowing quickly into a smooth, wearable profile. There's a slight honeyed gourmand hint in the drydown, along with labdanum and hints of cedar and sandalwood, creating a soft, warm, and slightly smoky character. The fragrance projects with moderate to strong sillage, lasting well into the day and persisting on clothing, making it ideal for cooler seasons. It wears close to the skin more than with powerful bursts, resulting in a quiet but lasting presence.
