The story behind the bottle.
Patchouli Elixir Precieux, launched by Dior in 2022, embodies the intensity and depth of patchouli essence in a highly concentrated fragrance oil. This woody chypre composition unfurls with a rich earthy aroma, balanced by warm spicy notes and a balsamic undertone that adds complexity. The fragrance is designed to be worn sparingly, allowing its noble raw materials to create an exceptional olfactory experience. For those who appreciate the art of perfumery, Patchouli Elixir Precieux offers both a standalone ritual and a complementary layer when paired with Gris Dior.
Apply just a few drops to your neck and wrists for a concentrated experience. The rich patchouli notes can be layered with Gris Dior for added complexity. This elixir is best suited for evenings or special occasions, where its depth and warmth enhance the moment.

“Early on, I memorised a whole host of notes without even realising it. I could recognise moss and flowers. My nose educated itself.”
