Patchouli is one of the most divisive ingredients in perfumery — deeply earthy, camphoraceous when raw, and rich when aged. It's the defining ingredient of the hippie era and the backbone of many contemporary gourmand and oriental fragrances.

Patchouli fragrances often feature Woody, Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Oud, Earthy, Smoky, Smoke as complementary accords. These combinations appear frequently because they share compatible olfactory qualities — together they create balance and depth.
Notes are the individual ingredients in a fragrance — bergamot, sandalwood, jasmine. Accords are the blended impressions those ingredients create together. A fragrance can list rose as a heart note but project as "Patchouli" depending on how it's constructed. Accords describe the experience; notes describe the recipe.
