Noir Patchouli (Reformulation)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Noir Patchouli is a dark, earthy patchouli that feels like a walk through a damp forest at midnight. The 2019 reformulation smoothed out some rough edges while keeping the core character intact. It opens with a burst of citrus and spice, then settles into a rich, woody heart with a touch of leather. The base is all about patchouli, amber, and a hint of vanilla, making it both mysterious and comforting.
