Launched in 2007 by Réminiscence, the French boho jewellery and clothing store, Inoubliable Elixir Patchouli is, in fact, unforgettable.

Inoubliable Elixir Patchouli grabs your attention with an opening of patchouli that’s boozy, sweet, and potent. It’s a real show-stopper. As it blooms, the patchouli’s camphourous and mentholated nuances make an appearance. Soon, other aspects of patchouli - the woody, earthy, and green facets - emerge. Balsamy cedarwood and creamy sandalwood bolster patchouli’s woodiness. Vetiver is earthy, smoky and green and enhances these aspects of the patchouli while adding a leathery undertone. As the scent unfolds, it gets dank and smells like wet cedar before a deep, dark, note of bitter chocolate comes to the surface. At the base, labdanum brings a musky, ambery sweetness to the blend that’s supported by vanilla and Tonka bean. At the base, sticky, deep dark Tolu balsam adds its rich balsamic scent of vanilla and cinnamon that gives Inoubliable Elixir Patchouli a spicy nuance. Hell's bells, this stuff is amazing! It’s everything I want a patchouli fragrance to be.

Notes: Cedarwood, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, vanilla, white musk, Tonka bean labdanum, and Tolu balsam.
