Frequently asked questions about patchouli perfumes
Classic patchouli vs. purified patchouli (Akigalawood, Clearwood)?

Do patchouli perfumes last?
Yes, it is one of the most persistent base notes: a good patchouli eau de parfum can last 10-12 hours on the skin.
Is patchouli a men's or women's note?
It is perfectly unisex. It is a protagonist in many classic feminine chypres and in many contemporary masculine compositions.
