Memory of a wind of revolt and freedom. This exotic leaf that reached our nostrils thanks to the Silk Road captivated the bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century as well as the hippies of the twentieth. Patchouli calls for a desire for elsewhere, for exoticism and mystery. Essence of paradoxes, its embalming side, rounded by tonka bean, sandalwood and tolu balm succeeds in reconciling the rebelliousness and the "establishment". Never earthy, it recalls the dry leaves of the shrub like the opulent silks that carried its sweet and enticing smell.
