patchouli

Earthy, musty, a bit hippie, but only the raw leaf. Modern patchouli accords are cleaned-up fractions that read as dark, soft, and chocolatey. The dominant base note in the entire "chypre" family and the backbone of roughly every amber fragrance made since 1920.

Also known as: patchouli leaf, indonesian patchouli
