The story behind the bottle.
Patchouli Sauvage by Houbigant was launched in 2023 and is a fragrance that embodies the earthy richness of patchouli with an unexpected aromatic twist. Created by perfumers Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie, this composition opens with bright bergamot and white grapefruit before diving into a heart of patchouli and labdanum. The base notes of cedar, sandalwood, tonka bean, and amber provide warmth and depth, creating an earthy yet luxurious scent that is both modern and lasting.
Patchouli Sauvage has long-lasting notes that develop over time, so one or two sprays on pulse points will be enough to carry you through the day. The fragrance is best applied in the morning for maximum longevity, as it needs time to bloom fully.
