Patchouli Memory

Description Patchouli Memory is Ex Nihilo's 2023 modern take on patchouli, composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández. Bergamot, clary sage and pink pepper open bright and punchy, before ylang-ylang, nutmeg and jasmine soften the transition into a warm, woody patchouli base lifted by akigalawood, labdanum, cedarwood and vanilla. Reviewers describe the drydown as "clean", airy and wood-anchored rather than heavy or earthy. Scent Character Woody: 37% Fresh: 18% Warm Spicy: 18% Floral: 18% Sweet: 9% Translation: a bright, modern patchouli built on warm woods and amber, not a heavy old-school patchouli.
