The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019 by Givenchy and crafted by perfumer Irène Farmachidi, Patchouli de Minuit is a unisex fragrance that explores the depth of patchouli with an oriental twist. The composition opens with the warm spice of olibanum and saffron, leading into a heart of lavender and davana before settling into the rich earthiness of patchouli, tonka bean, and cashmeran. This fragrance is designed to evoke the quiet intensity of a late-night rendezvous, where each note layers upon the other with complexity and depth.
Apply this fragrance lightly to the pulse points — the base notes take time to bloom fully. It's best for evening wear when its rich depth can be appreciated over several hours without overpowering.
