Eau de Parfum 0.34 fl.oz.
Patchouli wrapped in sandalwood, the past softened through the prism of time. The former imposes its rough, autumnal, damp and leafy notes. The latter, drier and rounder, balances this woody harmony. The essence of cade joins them, revealing itself in a halo of smoke to better mystify them. This exotic leaf, which reached our nostrils via the Silk Road, intoxicated the bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century just as it did the hippies of the twentieth. Patchouli calls to a longing for elsewhere, for exoticism and mystery. Essence of paradoxes, its embalming quality, rounded by tonka bean, sandalwood and tolu balsam, manages to reconcile revolt and "the establishment." Never earthy, it recalls the dry leaves of the shrub like the opulent silks that once carried its sweet and intoxicating scent.

Personalize your fragrance with layering
To create a unique fragrance that matches your mood of the moment, your desires, or your outfit, you can combine Obvious fragrances together. For a successful signature, Obvious recommends using two fragrances.
Here are our fragrance suggestions for pairings with Un Patchouli.
- Un Patchouli + Un Poivre = A combination that reveals woody and incense facets for an ultra-dry and slightly smoky fragrance
- Un Patchouli + Une Rose = The patchouli makes the rose vintage, classic and oriental with a cocoa facet
- Un Patchouli + Une Vanille = A gourmand fragrance where vanilla enhances the tonka bean of the patchouli and makes it even softer. The leather facet comes through and subtly evokes the smoky, leathery pod of vanilla
