Launched in 2015 by Carolina Herrera and crafted by perfumer Christophe Raynaud, Nightfall Patchouli is a composition that balances warm spices with earthy patchouli. The fragrance opens with the brightness of bergamot and cinnamon before diving into deeper notes like iris and Bulgarian rose. At its core, it relies on rich labdanum and benzoin, which give way to a woody and balsamic base. This blend creates an atmosphere that is both grounding and enigmatic, perfect for those who appreciate complexity.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm, long-lasting scent that gradually reveals its layers. The top notes dissipate quickly, so a second application may be needed to fully experience the depth of the woody base.
