The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Guerlain and crafted by Delphine Jelk, Patchouli Paris is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that captures the magnetism of Parisian nights. The composition opens with fresh aldehydes before transitioning into a heart of powdered and woody iris, creating a vibrant contrast that keeps the scent dynamic throughout the day. The base notes of patchouli, vanilla, ambergris, and musks provide a deep, sensual trail that lingers long after it's been applied.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a lasting effect. The aldehydes in the top notes will fade within an hour, but the base notes of patchouli and ambergris will continue to develop on your skin, creating a warm, lingering trail.
