What It Is
A woody interpretation of patchouli.
What It Does
Patchouli Paris evokes a stroll through the heart of a Parisian night. A game of contrasts between the freshness of the banks of the Seine and the intoxicating warmth of Parisian nightlife.
From the very first notes, the composition sweeps along with aldehydes, as fresh and lively as a shiver across the skin. Reminiscent of Montmartre, Abbesses, and Pigalle, the heart of the French nightlife, disinhibited patchouli puts on a show and blazes upon contact with powdery and woody iris.
Caressing the skin, the depth of patchouli continues in an amber-toned sillage of vanilla, ambergris accord and musk.

Scent Inspiration
"It's an extraordinary material, but one that's hard to tame because all its beauty lies in its flaws. It's slightly camphorous nuances at first, its woody, earthy accents. That's precisely what makes it so addictive." - Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Perfumer
Fragrance Artist's Touch
"With Patchouli Paris, I wanted to capture the spirit of the Parisian night; to reveal its boldness in a fragrance. The Seine, reddening and pulsating in a fresh, lively thrill of aldehydes and musks. I wanted to express the vibration of the streets on a festive evening, in a trail of powdery, woody iris. Dazed with music and freedom, expressing glances that seek each other, and skins drawn together in an overdose of patchouli and vanilla. That night, I encapsulated Paris in a bottle. Patchouli Paris." Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Perfumer
