How to choose a perfume with patchouli

Patchouli appears in compositions with very different openings. Compare its position in the pyramid and its listed companions: vanilla, woods, flowers or fruit. Its presence alone does not classify the whole perfume.

Prices and availability observed in the catalogue on . Check current values on the product page before ordering.

Compare patchouli’s position

Patchouli listed in the heart and patchouli listed in the base are two different published arrangements. Preserve that distinction when comparing VIP Regatus, Golden Caramel or Milano Men. A pyramid describes a presentation; it does not quantify the amount of patchouli.
