Patchouli Wood

1 perfumes

Patchouli Wood offers a sophisticated, earth-bound profile defined by its dark, damp soil nuances, camphoraceous undertones, and a dry, resinous backbone. Belonging to the woody-chypre family, this note provides a grounded structure that anchors more volatile top notes. It pairs naturally with rose in traditional attars to create a velvety, opulent depth, or with spicy saffron to enhance its leathery facets. In the Gulf, Patchouli Wood is an essential component for high-heat resilience; its robust molecular weight ensures it remains stable and projects gracefully during the humid, sweltering evenings of the region. Arab perfumers often utilize it as a bridge between the sharp intensity of pure oud and the softness of amber, crafting complex compositions that balance raw, medicinal edges with a lingering, sophisticated warmth suitable for formal majlis gatherings.
