Patchouli

Description Patchouli is a 2017 release from Hind Al Oud, the Dubai-based Emirati house founded in 2001 by Mohamed Hilal, and one of the house's fragrances built with no oud or agarwood at all. Fragrantica classifies it as woody aromatic: a bright, astringent burst of lemon opens the fragrance, sharp and alive, before coriander's spiced woodiness settles it into something more grounded, and dark, earthy patchouli carries it through to a balsamic, introspective finish. Hind Al Oud frames it around the moment discipline gives way to instinct. The same turning point the house says shaped its own founding. Scent Character Patchouli: 40% Spicy/Woody (Coriander): 30% Citrus (Lemon): 30% Translation: a dark, earthy patchouli lifted by bright lemon and spiced coriander, no oud here, this is a Western-style woody aromatic rather than a traditional Arabian oud fragrance. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Lemon Heart: Coriander Base: Patchouli Performance Longevity: Above average. Patchouli is a famously tenacious base note and typically anchors a fragrance for many hours. Sillage: Moderate to heavy, especially in the earthy, balsamic drydown. Projection: Bright and sharp at first from the lemon, settling into a denser, closer patchouli trail. Best Occasions & Season Best suited to spring, summer, and fall; suits evening, casual, and leisure wear.
