About Chinese Patchouli

Woody notes anchor a fragrance to the skin. They are dry, warm, and last for hours — the foundation of most masculine and unisex compositions.

As a member of the Woody family, chinese patchouli typically appears in fragrances designed for occasions and weather where this character flatters the wearer most. Our guide to fragrance notes explains how top, heart, and base notes evolve over a wear.
