The scent of pristine, primordial nature, the gentle breath of the woods and the Indonesian jungle. An unmistakable, free-spirited, evocative scent.
An original, sophisticated, intense fragrance of Patchouli, wood and aromatic roots.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
It suits a slow afternoon returning from rain-darkened woodland, when the earthy scent feels continuous with muddy boots and a heavy cotton jacket. In company, its dense patchouli gives a grounded, unconventional presence: less polished sociability than a deliberate preference for something raw and substantial.
How to wear
Start with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more; the intense patchouli character calls for restraint despite the Eau de Toilette concentration. Cool autumn weather suits its damp-earth and woody textures. In warmer conditions or close indoor settings, keep the application light to avoid overwhelming the space.
Who it’s for
For lovers of assertive patchouli, mossy woods and the smell of damp earth rather than bright freshness or confectionery sweetness. Its old-school character will appeal to those who enjoy ingredient-led perfumes with a rugged, free-spirited aesthetic and little interest in blending into the background.
Release year
1996
The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is the founder and perfumer of the Florentine house bearing his name. His approach draws on a deep interest in aromatic materials, cultural traditions and bespoke perfumery, spanning focused ingredient studies and more atmospheric compositions such as Teint de Neige. In Patchouli, he keeps the central material present throughout the composition, exploring its earthy character through lavender, woods, moss and aromatic roots.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Lorenzo Villoresi approaches perfume through cultural curiosity, close attention to aromatic materials and an enduring tradition of bespoke creation. The Florentine house emphasizes in-house production and personal, understated luxury rather than passing trends, with its characteristic hexagonal bottle reflecting that restrained identity.
Patchouli’s concept
Patchouli evokes untouched woodland and the Indonesian jungle through a concentrated study of patchouli, woods and aromatic roots. It belongs to the house’s early ingredient-centered explorations, with the principal note running through every stage of the composition. The jungle is its imaginative setting, not a documented account of a particular journey.
Extra info
Patchouli appears in the official top, heart and base notes, making it the continuous thread of the composition rather than a supporting base ingredient. The house also offers a separate perfume-in-oil version, designed to emphasize the base notes and persistence.
