The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur and crafted by Patricia de Nicolai, Patchouli Intense is a unisex Oriental Woody fragrance that redefines the earthy charm of patchouli. The composition opens with fresh and warm spices like geranium and Ceylon cinnamon, which cut through the rich heart of lavender, rose, and orange. As it settles into a base of sandalwood, amber, and vanilla, Patchouli Intense transforms from an aromatic burst to a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The fresh spicy top notes are fleeting, so allow it time to develop its heart and base notes for a richer experience. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when you want a warm, enveloping scent that lingers close to the skin.
