Patch Absolue

Description Patch Absolue is Andy Tauer's 2026 reworking of his 2017 Patch Flash (originally released under the Tauerville label), rebuilt at a much higher concentration with 40% natural patchouli oils. It opens on a bright, boozy spice hit of cinnamon and clove before settling into patchouli's controlled depth, warmed by creamy benzoin and a slow-burning amber glow. Tauer's own description calls it “a quiet, resinous glow that stays close and persistent”. This treats patchouli not as a supporting note but as the whole story. Scent Character No accord-percentage breakdown is available yet for this newly launched (2026) scent, but the shape is clear from its pyramid and Tauer's own copy: a boozy-spiced opening (cinnamon, clove) over a patchouli-dominant heart and base, at a striking 40% natural patchouli concentration. Translation: patchouli-forward and resinous rather than fresh or green, dense, textured, and built around depth rather than lift. Fragrance Pyramid Top: Spices, Boozy Notes, Clove and Cinnamon Heart: Benzoin Base: Patchouli, Amber, Sandalwood and Vanilla Performance Longevity: Tauer's own copy describes the patchouli glow as “close and persistent,” and the 40% natural-oil concentration points to solid all-day wear. Sillage: Tauer describes it as staying close to the skin rather than filling a room, a quiet, persistent glow rather than loud projection. Projection: Noticeable in the first hour from the boozy-spice opening, then settles close to skin.

It's a reworking of it. Tauer describes Patch Absolue as taking 2017's Patch Flash (Tauerville label) and rebuilding it at a much higher, 40% natural-patchouli concentration. Is it unisex? Yes. Fragrantica lists it as a fragrance for both women and men. Does it smell like classic dirty patchouli? No. It's a refined, resinous take on patchouli rather than a raw, earthy one, warmed by benzoin, amber and sandalwood. What's the longevity like? As a fresh 2026 release, reviews are still limited, Tauer's own copy and the 40% patchouli concentration both point to a persistent, long-lasting scent that stays close to the skin.
