The idea behind it was unusual: not to stage patchouly as a dark, earthy or woody raw material, but to place its floral, radiant and almost hypnotic side at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe inspiration for this reaches back into the great perfume era of the Mughal dynasties. For centuries, Lahore and Delhi were centres of a fragrance culture in which precious natural essences were not understood as a fleeting cosmetic product, but as an expression of luxury, spirituality, power and personal identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDuring the Mughal period, oud, sandalwood, rose, jasmine, ambergris and numerous other precious natural materials were part of the olfactory repertoire of the courtly elite. Since alcoholic perfume bases played no role in the Islamic fragrance tradition, numerous compositions were created on a pure oil base: attars, in which natural essences merged with one another and were able to mature over long periods of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePatchouly Rouge takes up this historical idea, but interprets it entirely anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAt its centre stands an extraordinary quartet of different patchouly qualities. Around it a floral body forms from Jasmine Sambac, Jasmine Grandiflorum and tuberose, carried by creamy Mysore sandalwood, vanilla absolute and tonka absolute. Vintage labdanum, beeswax absolute and finely dosed animalic natural materials give the composition its depth and suppleness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe result is not a dark patchouly. Not a dry patchouly. Not an earthy, musty patchouly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIt is Patchouly Rouge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA floral, balsamic and powdery patchouly whose radiance is brought into an exceptionally supple form by white blossoms, woods, vanilla and tonka.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eParticularly fascinating is its changeable effect on the skin. The composition possesses a pronounced skin dependency: on different skin chemistry, the floral, balsamic, woody and animalic facets can emerge to varying degrees. As a result, Patchouly Rouge can appear distinctly more feminine on one skin, while on another skin it acts more masculine, drier or woodier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNot as an artificially constructed gender assignment, but as that which has always distinguished high-quality natural perfumery: a composition that works with its wearer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatchouly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVintage Patchouly – Indonesia\u003cbr\u003eUltra Vintage Patchouly – Indonesia, 2000\u003cbr\u003eVintage Patchouly – India, 2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWoods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSandalwood – Mysore, India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalsamic \u0026amp; gourmand raw materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVanilla Absolute – Madagascar\u003cbr\u003eTonka Absolute – Brazil\u003cbr\u003eVintage Labdanum – Crete, 2002\u003cbr\u003eBeeswax Absolute – France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFloral essences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJasmine Sambac – India\u003cbr\u003eJasmine Grandiflorum – India\u003cbr\u003eTuberose – India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnimalic natural materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrey Ambergris – Bahamas\u003cbr\u003eVintage Civet Musk – India, 2010\u003cbr\u003eCastoreum – Siberia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDevelopment on the skin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePatchouly Rouge is a true projection monster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEven the first contact with the fragrance does not feel like a single top note slowly emerging from the mist.

Together with the other animalic natural materials it connects the individual levels of the composition with one another, gives them depth and helps to hold the floral and ethereal facets in the composition for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAfter this first overture, the actual protagonist begins to show itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe patchouly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNot a single patchouly essence, but an extraordinary quartet of different qualities, some of which have matured over many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe older qualities in particular have transformed over time into extremely concentrated, dark, almost blood-red syrups.
