The story behind the bottle.
Patchouli by M. Micallef is a unisex Oriental Woody fragrance, crafted by the renowned perfumer Jean-Claude Astier. This composition centers around Patchouli from India and Java, offering a rich blend of earthy warmth with an unexpected freshness from violet leaf at the top. The heart of Patchouli is enveloped in warm spices, balsamic notes, and powdery musk, creating a scent that is both grounding and inviting.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The Patchouli base takes some time to develop fully, so allow it to settle on your skin before heading out.
