An “angels with dirty faces” patchouli that contrasts its syrupy richness with an appealing damp earth undertone. “Casbah” is a North African fortress, and here a citadel of camphoraceous eucalyptus twins patchouli’s counterintuitive haze of freshness, while the base of cistus and sandalwood adds animal warmth. A rugged patchouli in extrait strength.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Think worn leather boots beneath a carefully cut coat: composed, but not polished smooth. Its damp-earth patchouli and resinous warmth suit an unhurried evening in close company, with eucalyptus giving the richness a bracing edge.
How to wear
Cool autumn weather and winter suit its dense patchouli and warm resins. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing, allowing the eucalyptus freshness to settle into the earthy, woody base. In warmer conditions, use a lighter application so the syrupy richness does not dominate.
Who it’s for
For devotees of earthy, old-school patchouli who enjoy resinous warmth without losing a rough edge. It suits tastes that lean toward woody, balsamic compositions and welcome camphoraceous freshness rather than a uniformly sweet amber finish.

Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561’s story
Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561 brings Florentine apothecary heritage into contemporary perfumery. Its Fragranze 1561 collection joins tradition with modern composition, treating fragrance as an expression of individuality and a trigger for memories and emotions.
Oriental Casbah’s concept
Oriental Casbah is built around the tension between earthy patchouli and unexpected freshness. Marine notes and balsamic eucalyptus interrupt its dense, resinous character, while cistus and sandalwood provide warmth. Its concept is unconventional contrast rather than the recreation of a documented historical formula.
Extra info
Patchouli leaves appear in the official opening notes alongside marine notes, with eucalyptus and cistus in the heart and sandalwood in the base. The brand labels the fragrance Parfum; the date 1561 belongs to the house’s heritage, not the perfume’s creation.
