The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Lancôme, Patchouli Aromatique is crafted by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou and brings an earthy depth to the brand's aromatic offerings. This fragrance opens with a strong patchouli note that anchors the composition, creating a rich, woody base that is complemented by warm spicy and herbal undertones. The balsamic elements add a subtle sweetness that balances the overall earthiness, making it a versatile scent for both day and night.

How to wear it

For best results, apply this fragrance to pulse points and let it settle for about five minutes. The patchouli note is strong initially but balances out over time, making it ideal for those who prefer a scent that evolves throughout the day.
