A perfume with this note is recommended to be worn only after the age of 45: check your perfume!

Let’s talk about patchouli. Do you know why?

It’s all about their very thick, rich, infuriating aroma – with an earthy, sometimes even slightly musty undertone. It’s not for nothing that patchouli scents often evoke associations with damp earth or the deep dungeon of an old Gothic castle.

Of course, this is not always the case: patchouli – if added to a perfume composition in small doses – serves as a natural fixer that does not allow the perfume to fly off the skin in a few hours. They are also responsible for the deeper and “expensive” sound of perfumes.

But in the “overdose” they can choke you and those around you. At the same time, if you’re in your early twenties, you run the risk of looking…strange. Your youthful image will not be combined with such a solemn, strict and somewhat gothic perfume.

Remember the main thing: there are no strict rules in perfumery and cosmetics. Experience! But wisely. And we will tell you what nuances you need to pay attention to;)
