Launched in 2022 by Van Cleef & Arpels, Patchouli Blanc is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. The composition opens with aldehydes and pink pepper, creating an initial burst of freshness that contrasts sharply with the rich patchouli heart. This contrast gives way to a warm base of white musk and cashmere wood, providing a grounding comfort. Patchouli Blanc is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a delicate balance between modernity and lastingness.

Application Tips
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points; the aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting. The warm base notes will unfold gradually over time, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your activities.
