Launched in 2020 by Guerlain, Les Absolus d'Orient Patchouli Ardent is crafted by Thierry Wasser to embody the intensity and warmth of patchouli. The fragrance opens with a burst of fig and pink pepper, giving way to the rich heart of Turkish rose and leather. This composition then settles into a base of cedar, musk, and warm spices that evoke a sense of depth and complexity. Guerlain's legacy of using luxurious materials is evident here, as Thierry Wasser weaves together an olfactory blend that feels both lasting and modern.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms slowly on the skin, so apply it in light layers to allow each note to develop. The patchouli is strong initially but gives way to a warm, musky base that lasts well into the evening.

The story behind the bottle.
The hush of a dimly lit room as the last rays of sunlight fade, where the scent of patchouli and leather lingers in the air.
