The story behind the bottle.
Patchouli Absolu by Tom Ford, launched in 2014, is a Woody fragrance that stands out with its intense focus on patchouli, an earthy and warm spice note. The composition opens with a fresh spicy accord before diving into the rich, balsamic heart of patchouli, which is further grounded by mossy and leathery undertones. This unisex scent captures the essence of Tom Ford's meticulous craftsmanship, blending modern sophistication with lasting elegance.
This fragrance has a long-lasting base that develops over time, so applying it an hour before you leave gives it enough time to bloom fully. Use one or two sprays; the patchouli note can be quite strong and will project well throughout the day.
