The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Atelier Cologne, Mistral Patchouli is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that marries the freshness of star anise and pomelo with the earthy depth of patchouli and Haitian vetiver. The composition begins with a bright spiciness from black pepper and star anise, creating a vibrant contrast to the warm, woody base notes of incense and benzoin. This fragrance captures the essence of Atelier Cologne’s approach: rich in character and longer-lasting than traditional colognes.
One or two sprays are enough for this fragrance. The bright top notes fade within an hour, but the warm spiciness and woody base linger throughout the day. It's best applied in the morning to fully enjoy its evolving character.
