The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2026, Patchouli 01 by Swiss Arabian is an aromatic woody fragrance created by perfumer Shinichiro Oba. This composition opens with a vibrant blend of pink pepper and grapefruit, creating a fresh spicy aroma that cuts through the richness of the base notes. The heart introduces lavender and orange blossom for a soft floral touch, while elemi and lily of the valley add depth. The patchouli at its core is enveloped in warm spices like cardamom and tonka, alongside woody elements such as cashmere wood and oak, creating an earthy yet luxurious scent.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays in the morning for a scent that lasts throughout the day. The patchouli base develops over time, so it's best to let it settle into your skin rather than layering multiple applications.
